Kubuntu 11.04 Install "Uncleanly Mounting"

[SkittleLinux18]

Ok, round 2xxx and something.

I installed Kubuntu 11.04 on the system you see the specs of in my signature. It was running fine and so I decided to Ghost the drive using BartPE. I could not ghost it, though, because Ghost gave me an error message saying that the image creation failed, most likely due to the "partition unmounting cleaning." It then told me I could probably trying fixing it by running fsck. Well, I booted back into Kubuntu and ran the command but got a warning from the terminal saying,

...the filesystem is mounted and continuing can cause ***SEVERE*** file damage.

Do you really wish to continue? (y/n)?

So, I clicked no and came straight here. Would anybody care to clue me in as to what I have going on here? Thank you, in advanced.

So you ran an fsck on Kubuntu while you were booted to Kubuntu? And got that error?
That's normal, bro. It's mounted at that point, and fsck can hurt a mounted file-system.

Run fsck from a LiveCD.

Agreed, run fsck from a LiveCD and never run it on a mounted partition.

Thanks guys. I'm glad I didn't run the fsck then. So, I booted into the Natty LiveCD and opened a terminal. Following the instructions of post #2 on this Ubuntu thread, I ran a series of codes:

Now, I am no linux expert, but this would appear to me that there is nothing wrong with my partition?

***EDIT***

Ok, I just tried to run Ghost from my BartPE disk again and got the same result. The exact error message is:

Ghost has detected problems with a Linux volume. The volume was most probably not unmounted cleanly. We recommend that you quit Ghost and correct the problem by running fsck on this volume.
Alternatively, you may also continue normally.

So I click continue and it just says the image creation was completed successfully at 100% with 0 MB copied.
