On start up I have see the beow error.

I use a dual boot system with Window 7 as other boot, apart from that I have three partitioned Harddisk one each for Linux nd Windows and one for Data,,..

Run fsck manually at the debug shell.

[george_toolan]

fdisk -l

Find your broken partition then run

e2fsck /dev/sdXY

on that partition from the debug shell or a Fedora 16 (non beta) live cd.

You probably lost some files.

Check the smart values for that drive with

smartctl -a /dev/sdX

When it's up and running again you should run a self test on that drive

smartctl -t long /dev/sdX

This will take a couple of hours depending on the size of the drive since it's trying to read all sectors on that drive.
