* Login with username/barcode gvuser and your gvuser/staff password
* After login, press '''CTRL+ALT+G''' to pull up the [[Groovix Menu]] and type in the administrator password
* From the Groovix Menu, choose option #4, open an xterm as the root user
* In the terminal window, type <font class="code">fsck -f /dev/sda1</font> and press '''ENTER''' to execute the command. Answer any prompts by pressing the '''Y''' key for Yes

* Repeat the <font class="code">fsck -f</font> command for the following partitions: ''(pressing the '''UP ARROW''' will retype the command, you can then backspace out the last number and replace it with the next in the list)''<br />
