Screwed up partition info

I have a few distro's installed and a spare partition called /storage. I bought another hd assigned it and during a recent install, called it /mystuff. The problem is that I overwrote /storage with another distro.

Now I get a file system error when I boot to FC5. There are a couple text prompts. One say's: enter root password. Did that but now have no idea what to do next......

There's other stuff there as well. In particular, read the line containing the word "fsck".

fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=/storage"

There isn't a storage partition at this point. I overwrote it with Suse and made a new larger partition for to save files in.

So what do you expect it to do with the requirement to use the partition labelled "/storage" ?
