Before going to say there is physical problem , do you have a Linux live CD like knoppix or Slax ?

boot from on of them and run (for ext2 or ext3 )
e2fsck -c -n /dev/hda1 ( or what you have )

-c is the Bad block checking
-n is to don't make any changes to the filesystem

For reiserfs use fsck.reiserfs without any arguments

and post about the news.

its says that the file system have errors ..
how can i fix it ?
does i need 2 backup all the h.d before im doing this ?
thanks !

it depends wish errors you get ? you can try to fix them even without backup !
but if they are physical damage so there is nothing you can do.
