boot-up error

[ian]

hi all,
i got the following message when trying to boot up...

"...Activating swap
Unable to find swap-space signature
Checking root file system...
fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
fsck.ext2:Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda2
Could this be a zero-length partition?
fsck failed..."

Any ideas of what could be wrong? Thanx in advance.
ian
