[SOLVED]Error while Checking Filesystems

During the boot process, the system displays an error while checking /dev/sda4
It shows this:

/dev/sda4:  recovering journal
Error reading block 18491121 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) [FAIL]

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

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

This has never happened before, and my system has been working fine for a few weeks before now. This occurred after I accidentally unplugged my laptop's ac adapter, resulting in my computer's power being turned off. This problem is probably a result of the unclean unmounting of the filesystem.

Anyone have any idea how I could go about fixing this?

Thanks smile

Re: [SOLVED]Error while Checking Filesystems

Type in your root password, and then type in "fsck". That is the equivalent of the Windows CHKDSK. Once it finishes, reboot your system. It's really not that hard to fix!

EDIT: Never mind, although you can try this I don't think it will work.

Thanks a lot. I'm a bit embarrassed that it was that simple :X

Re: [SOLVED]Error while Checking Filesystems

I remember when this happened to me. A simple reboot fixed it all up IIRC
