unable to run e2fsck

[Angelo Moreschini <mrangelo.fedora@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have problem to run fsck on the root directory.

I know that ( in order that the root directory  is not mounted) I need to boot the computer in rescue mode.

So I boot the computer by the CD of the installation.

This CD (that come me with a book of Prentice Hall) don't give me directly the prompt.

...Before I get  a window from what I choose "troubleshooting" and after I get another window where I can chose:

• Continue : to attempt to mount the file system under the directory /mnt/sysmag

• read only : to do the same, but only in read mode..
• skip         : to boot the computer skipping the mounting of the filesystem

I choose skip (in order to avoid to mount the file system) but (also in this way) the command e2fsck -yvf /dev/sda2 fails...

This because the drive /dev/sda2 result to be mounted...

So what I can do to run fsck on /dev/sda2 (where is mounted the root directory)?

thank you

regards

Angelo
