MULTIbooting problem

[navin]

well i installed red hat linux 7.1 on my pc.im multi booting win98,win2k server and rhl 7.1.i had no such problems with the installation.

all my hardware was detected.

i have a 20GB ide hdd.

i have a 4.7GB primary partition on which win98 is installed.

then i installed rhl7.1 with separate partitions for /boot,/,swap,and
/usr.

i installed kde only.the whole thing took about 3.2GB.

then i created FAT32 partitions and installed
win2kserver.

i installed the LILO on the 1st sector of boot partition(/dev/hdc2)and used bootpart to include linux in my win2kser for booting.

it worked fine for 2 days and now when i try to bootafter the welcome messages it loads a few things.

after mounting the root partn(/dev/hdc5)it says
'error occured in file checking,dropping u to a shell,system will reboot after u exit the shell'
well now i dont know what to do to get the X started.
startx doesnt work.
please help me to get rid of this.

Any mention of running fsck?

If so, then try fsck -a /dev/hdc5 and see if that fixes the problem.
