Thanks, that worked. But fsck hangs my system at 27.1% on one of my
partitions. Can you please advise on what to do?<br>

Check that in your /etc/fstab the 6th field for every ext3 partition
exists and isn't 0. It might look like this:
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 2

This is the important column. -----------------------+
