Ok, so I reinstalled LInux today because I screwed it up.
Now during boot, after it loads kernel and stuff, it checks the filesystem and there's a problem with the filesystem.
It says somethinga bout ext2, but I picked my type as ext3. It goes into single-user mode. Wtf?
IIRC, ext3 is just ext2 with journaling.

That post is entirely useless. Never post unless you're going to answer a question or respond to something.
@deadly: do what I did: reinstall.
Yeah, that's what I was doing.
I logged in as root when it prompted me in single-user mode and tried the following command:
e2fsck -v- y /dev/hda2
And it said my disk was clean. So I tried it with fsck and forced it
e2fsck -v -f /dev/hda2
and it still didn't work.
Edit: So does anyone know how/why this happened?

And you guys say Windows sucks because an easy way to fix problems is to reinstall. PSH I say. PSSHHHHH!
I found it easier to reinstall after a broken install at first.

When I installed Windows on my other computer it didn't even boot and give me a chance to fix things. Windows.. loading.. Windows.. BSOD BITCH GEE FUCKING GEE.
Anyways, I figured out the problem: BAD SECTORS ON TEH HARD DRIVE.
