win 98-nt duel w/linux fsck failed

I have win 98 and NT set-up as duel boot and all is well. Now I have installed Corel Linux (plug and play) and all is not well. On start up corel appears with the option to move on to win. This works just fine, I go on to win and have the option NT or 98. If I choose Linux (the first time I got a Blair witch type of flickering screen) I get fsck failed please repair manually and reboot as well as root file system is read only. Any takers?
