To run fsck the partition should not be mounted. If you got errors on
a partition, don't mount it read-write as writing to it can make
things worse.
To check a ext2/ext3 filesystem: From a console run "e2fsck -fv
/dev/sda1"  sda1 is the device and partition you want to check.
Partitions is not named /dev/hd* anymore as suggested in previous
mail.
If you have some data on it that you want to access mount it read-only
from a Live CD. Mount it with "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1" the
directory /mnt/sda1 must exist.

Hope it helps
