Can't seem to find the steps to get to that menu option having booted from
CD. Can you help?

I have tried booting into single user mode and running fsck /dev/hd4 (root
filesystem) but this will not try to fix anything as the filesystem is
still
mounted. Can anybody help in explaining how I can run fsck on a root??

Thanks for any replies, they're much appreciated.

df shows / filesystem as 100% full, but ls and df do not show sufficient
data to fill it.

Tried a reboot but to no effect.

Any ideas?
