Hi,
You can use rescue disk to do the stuff.
If you have Installation CD then u can use the option for rescue ..
You can rescue option , it will not mount your root partition. U can then run fsck on root.
BTW if your file system is corrupt then while system boots fsck does check for any corruptions on your disk and falls back to a shell ( where you can run fsck manually ) if fsck couldnot correct the file system itself.
ciao Tapesh

Hi Friends I want to carry out some file system repairs (fsck, badblocks, etc)
The problem is that I want to carry out the repairs on my root partition and swap partitions but when my system boots those partitions are already mounted.
There should be a way in which, after my system boots I unmount the partitions or else my system boots such that the partitions are not used at all.
