i turned on my computer, and it boots fine, and it says mounting filesystems....then i get this:

fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/hda3
/dev/hda3: the superblock could not be read or does not describe an ext2fs...filesystem couldn't be fixed.

if i hit ctrl+d for a normal boot, it just restarts the computer!!! ideas?

boot using the live cd, and run fsck on your disks.

edit: oh yeah, this is perhaps the worst thread title ever

oh thanks. sorry, i changed the title to fixed, but forgot to post. i forgot my winders partition was /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda4, so my fstab was skewed.
