You don't need to do that. If you wanted to do it anyway, you'd do it on the filesystem (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00), and not the disk (/dev/hda).

All looks good up until the last step. You need to 'mkfs -t ext3 /dev/VolGroup00/home' before you can fsck it.
Am I heading for a re-install?
Well, it never hurts to have a backup, but my experience with the tools has been good.
