startup troubles with ubuntu 9.10

[Robert Moreau]

/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
mountall: fsck / [397] terminated with status 4
mountall: Filesystem has errors: /
init: mountall main process 9389) terminated with status 3
Mount of filesystem failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and retry.

ran the startup disk - repair & memory check went fine - I can see my files
running ubuntu from the boot disk but it won't boot from the HD



# fsck /dev/sda1
