Linux won't boot up after freeze


my system froze the other night while doing a file search. after leaving it for a while to see if it came back i saw no progress and rebooted. now i can't boot linux. it does a harddrive scan on boot up and freezes when it does the scan at exactly 6.1% everytime. i can't even get to the shell. is ther any way i can override the scan and get into the shell and maybe fix things or do i have to do a format(which i really would like to avoid.)

I'm running Mandrake 9.1 with a Pentium 2, 400MHz with 128 Mb Ram 10 Gb Win Me HD and 8Gb Linux HD if that helps any.

Thanks in advance

did you try to boot from boot disk
(as i remember RetHat Cd can be used for this
)
after booting simply
run fsck and see what happend
(proboly a little adressing problem
)
