    fsck error on fedora 8

    hi guys,
    I have problem with my fedora, here is the error:

    -it will not go to gui instead some errors pop-up;

    error
    e2fsck: cannot contine aborting
    fsck.ext3.No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdc

    I tried the command fsck -y and fsck /bin, and this is the result

    the superblock block could not be read,superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

    thanks in advance

    Do you have a 3rd hard disk (that is what /dev/sdc is) attached to that system?

    Try booting into Rescue mode (use a Fedora 8 -- or later -- DVD) and type "linux rescue" at the boot prompt. Once there, mount the system (Fedora should try and do that for you) and show the contents of your /etc/fstab file. E.g., if your system is mounted at /mnt/sysimage, then do:
    Code:
    cat /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab
    Grep the output of dmesg, too, looking for hard disks:
    Code:
    dmesg|grep sd
