Best Answer

You need root privileges, and it's often best not to use fsck on a live (mounted.) filesystem. Also you'll need to know the device file and, in some cases, the filesystem of the partition you're working on. The command is thusly:

# fsck /dev/sdXY

In most cases the fsck command will figure out what the filesystem is and run the appropriate filesystem checker.
