Hi Suman,

Caveat:  I am not an expert at this.

It doesn't sound good.  The normal thing is to try booting either a
rescue disc or a second copy of the OS on another hard disk.  This will
allow you to examine the hard drive that has the corruption.  It might
be recoverable, but I think the system usually recovers automatically if
it can.  There is a way to ask the filesystems to be checked at boot,
but I haven't done it for a long time.  I think you hit a capital I at
the start of the boot process.

Good luck.
