Why am I getting these errors booting Arch?

I installed the bootloader in Arch. I think it was in the wrong one. I installed grub in dev/sda. There were dev/sda2, dev/sda3, etc. Or is it something else wrong?:(
Now when I try to boot this is what I get:

: : Checking Filesystems [BUSY]
/dev/sda3: Superblock last mount time is in the future. FIXED.
/dev/sda3: Superblock last write time is in the future. FIXED.
/dev/sda3 has filesystem last checked last time in the future, check forced. Error reading block 113163 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while reading directory block. [FAIL]

*****FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED*****
Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write type: mount -n -o remount,rw /
When you exit the maintenance shell the system will reboot automatically.
********************
Then it says:

Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):

What do I do?

EDIT: It also gives some error over and over about something like this:

end_request: I/O error, dev sda 713301
ata1: EH complete
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors: (80.00GB/74.5 GiB)
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write protect is off
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

Mm. Crap. Let me wipe the partition and try again. Hey, I see you on Ubuntu Forums! ha.

I had that problem once.  I never figured out why it happened exactly but fsck fixed it.

If you need to zero out the MBR, try using ms-sys (it's in AUR, I think?) like so:

ms-sys -f -z /dev/sdxx

(-f is only necessary if you're trying to zero the MBR of an entire drive, e.g. /dev/sda)

It won't work though. I'll wipe the partition I guess, and then reinstall and hope it all works.
How do I start an fsck? I can't seem to do it.

Boot from the install CD, and run the fsck from there.

Re: Why am I getting these errors booting Arch?

Your system clock got reset somehow. Make sure the battery on your motherboard hasn't run out - this is a typical symptom of it.
