Login problem,Please help me.

I have used Linux for more than one month but I think It's the best OS I have ever used. But Today I had problem when I tried to login: Here are an error msg:
/dev/hda2 contain a file system with errors,check forced.
duplicate or bad blocks in use.
/dev/hda2:Unexpected in consistency: Run fsck Manually.
**** An error occurred during the file system check
*****Droping you to a shell; the system will reboot when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance.
Then I logged in as root. I did man fsck .and I knew that It 's command for find and repair file system in Linux. But I lack of experience about using Linux and I'm just wondering how can I use it to repair files system of Linux in my computer correctly. So I would like you to help me to solve that problem.
Regards
Mark.

oh man somethin like this happend to me. this is what I did. I booted off my linux install disk, when it asked me to pass options instead of just hitting enter i did a

mount root=/dev/hda1

(linux is on /dev/hda1 of my machine) then after I booted up I got a console and logged in as root. then I just did a

fsck /dev/hda1

and it checked it and fixed it all up. stuff like this is the reason why its good to save your install disks and/or make boot disks, im too lazy to make boot disks tho so my install disk is also my rescue disk :)

this is just posted as a comment. I dont like to lock questions. if this works and you want to give me the points let me know and i'll repost my comment as an answer.
