Hang during Checking root system

[evista]

I got Mandrake 10, sucessfully installed it with GRUB. The problem is I accidentally shut down the system incorrectly so when I booted the system up again it started checking the root filesystem.

Your system appears to have shut down uncleanly
Press Y within 3 seconds for force file system integrity check
Checking root filesystem
/dev/hda5: |===== / 11.1%

It just stop there, I waited for over 2 hours and it not going any further.
I restart the comp by hitting the restart button, and the check started again but hung at different percentage.
So how can I bypass this and log into the login/password promp? Is there to skip this integrity check to get to the login promp?

Thank For All Your Help

Boot from alternate medium, such as a CD or floppy, and mount your file system. Then run

fsck

to check and repair the filesystem.

Ok, I able to use my Mandrake disk to boot and get this promp
boot: _
I typed in mount/mmt/cdrom
But i got the the message that it can't find kernel image:mount
So how am I able to get into the filesystem and use fsck.
I am very new to this, specific instructions will be appreciated

Thanks
