Ubuntu 10.04 crashed

**niceguy123** · January 13th, 2011

My desktop using Ubuntu 10.4 (I recently ungraded from 9.04) crashed. That is Ubuntu is not loading. At first I get a Ubuntu icon and count % of cheeking system and before it reaches 50% a linux screen comes up with error messages:

Last six lines:

Code:

mountall: fsck / (9290) terminated with status 4
mountall: Filesystem has errors: /
init: mountall main process (9289) terminated with status 3
Mount of filesystem failed.
a maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will termainae this shell and re-try.

Any ideas how to revive Ubuntu?

thanks

Your root filesystem has errors.
fsck was unable to repair them:

The exit code returned by fsck is the sum of the following conditions:
4 - File system errors left uncorrected

Try booting from a live CD and running fsck on your unmounted root partition.

Good luck.
