Weird boot problem??

[Michael Fakaro]

My kids wanted to play some games so I shutdown, booted into windows and
then when they were finished booted back to Red Hat 8. When it got to 
checking root it said it had errors and forced a check. I did shutdown 
properly so I don't know how any errors were present. Anyway it checked
to 
57.5 % then locked up, I tried it several times and had to power off to 
reboot each time. So I tried to boot from my rescue floppy that wouldn't
boot!! then panic set in. I then booted into Caldera 3.1.1 and ran fsck 
from there on my Red Hat root partition, I know that was probably crazy
but 
I didn't know what else to do. Anyway it got through with 2 error on
pass 1 
then finished and now I'm back happily in Red Hat. Any comments on what 
happened and how I could avoid this near catastrophe (if it was one) in
the 
future. 

Your comments are quite welcome, I'm in the dark.

Thanks

Mike F
