Just follow the instructions.  When it gets to this point type in your root 
password and then at the prompt type in:

fsck /dev/<whatever drive is giving you trouble>

fsck will fix the disk (unless you've managed to screw things majorly - 
happened to me once...once =)

Then, once fsck is finished reboot.

BTW, just as a matter of interest, how are you shutting off your computer?  
Are you shutting it down first or are you just switching it off?
