I was working on topologilinux earlier today and everything was fine. Topo is a special flavor of linux (based off of slackware) that runs off an image file on your ntsf partition, and boots into that file and runs like a regular slackware install. It has been working great for the couple of months that I have had it. I haven't made any big changes today or anything to it, I was just in windows, rebooted and it said that the root filesystem contained errors and needed to be scanned, so I let it do that. But then it had to reboot and it always had to scan the filesystem, I let it do this 3 or 4 times. Here is a screenshot:
I then tried this command which it recommended, my filesytem is ext2: e2rsck -v -y /dev/loop7, which did a bunch of scanning, which you can see here but ultimately didn't work either.
Why is it doing this? There is no reason for it as far as I can tell because I haven't made any changes today, just usually internet surfing and things. What can I do to correct this?
Thanks alot!

You may have to reinstall.
I read that there is a linux virus on the loose.
Maybe you got ahold of it.
I am sorry but that is all I can think of.
If you did not change anything, then that would be the only logical explanation. -

Any ideas of what this is? -
If you don't think it will hurt it, I'd recommend booting back into Window$ and running a check on the drive, there may be some errors that Linux can't access.
Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore. -

Also is there a way to get rid of the virus? I can open the image file in windows so could I maybe change some things to fix it? -

Shouldn't need to do anything special. Just run a check on the drive the image is on. You can do this either through Disk Management or just right clicking on the drive and clicking Check Now on the Tools tab.

I don't know about your questions.
I am going to have to do some research.
In the meantime, I suggest you restore from the backup you did.

Alright, I was able to open the file in e2fsexplorer in windows and it appeared to be fine. This is just so odd. I then rebooted and what do you know, it boots up fine! This is such a strange thing! I wonder why that happened. It looks like this was a false alarm.
BTW, I was thinking about that linux virus that bazooka was talking about. Is there some good antivirus and firewall software for linux? and do you have a link?
Thanks once again for the help!

Linux usually has it's own built in firewall.

In Fedora, it is in the start menu.
I believe it is in the system settings.
Look for security. -

When you're in Window$ and you right click on the drive then click Properties, there's no Check Now option on the Tools tab?
