I was loading it and when it did all those checks I got this error on one of the checks.

/dev/hda5: Unexpected Inconsistency; Run fcsk Manually.

***An error occured during file system check.
***Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
***When you leave the shell.

Please help, thank you.

Did you burn the disk slowly, and check your medium? Sounds like a problem with the disk or download. I burn at 8x, don't use read-write disks and have never had a medium problem. Also do you have at least 256mb of memory, twice that would be better, and have you run memtest86?

I have it dual booted with Windows and Windows works fine. And it was working fine before and then it stopped working. I burned it at 4x.

Did you run the "fsck"?
Is /dev/hda5 one of your Linux partitions?
Is this a clean install or an update?

Dont know how to run fsck, It's one of my linux partitions. I think it's the root. Anyways I think Im going to delete them with Partition Magic and reinstall with the final version. The one I had was TR4. Anyways thanks for your help.

When you boot the machine it should boot into a shell(more than likely BASH) log in as root. Type "fsck /mnt/hda5" (no quotes) and press enter. Some systems all you have to do once in shell is just use the command "fsck" and the file system check will execute for the drives mounted in /etc/fstab. Since hda5 is a automount drive (or you woudn't have gotten the error) fsck should just do its job and recover the partition.
