Rep:
okay. i repartitioned to remove the swap, and ran
fsck -y -v -f /dev/hda1
which a friend suggested. there have been like a million errors so i hope it fixes them...
current config: /dev/hda1 = /

Rep:
once this finishes, i'm probably going to repartition it again to add the swap again, then re-run fsck and e2fsck. (i removed the swap in the first place because fsck had alotta problems checking it)
here will be the configs:
/dev/hda1 - swap - 1gb
/dev/hda2 - / - 29gb

Rep:
the hd was working just fine before i installed linux, and the check/format didnt report any errors.
okay, finished all the fsck runs....one directory kept on being corrupt though, so i went ahead and repartitioned as stated in my above post, then ran fsck -y -v -f /dev/hda1 and got this:
the filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 7474233 blocks
the physical size of the device is 248999 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort? yes

It looks like the kernel / lilo is trying to mount your swap instead of your root drive.
