Angry CentOS 5 Upgrade problem


Hello all
i have a problem, i thanks in advance to those, who resolve my problem,
and it below:
I installed CentOS 5 last year, a month ago i installed windows 2003, because of which boot sectors were over written, now i am not able to boot my centOS, but window i can.
so i decided to upgrade it so that during upgradation it install boot loader again and i can boot both windows as well as linux.But i get following error while upgrading

(not word to word)
it says somethig like
"the filesystem on /dev/sda3 is not clean and therefore is not suitable for upgradation. Plz reboot and shut down cleanly and then try later"

Now what should i do?
plz, anybody help
