run fsck from a Live-CD/Live-USB
Identify partitions

Code: [Select]
sudo fdisk -l

Make sure they are unmounted:
Code: [Select]

Code: [Select]
for n in /dev/sda* ; do umount $n ; done

then run fsck on them (substitute X to suit):

Code: [Select]
fsck /dev/sdaX

or fix an hard drive related issue called bad blocks you may have (this will take a long time).

Code: [Select]
fsck -cy /dev/sdaX
or
Code: [Select]
fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sdaX
