Default

At repair file system prompt you need to run fsck command on filesystem. For example:
Code:
fsck /
OR
Code:
fsck /dev/sdaX
Replace /dev/sdaX with your actual partition name. Use fdisk -l command to get list of partitions. Run fsck command on partitions and reboot system. It should solve your problem
