My wife’s computer is down and I need a bit of help. It has 10.3 i386 on it. Below is the end of the boot text. Thanks in advance for any help.

fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA… -part3
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor…-part3
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains and ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with and alternate superblock.
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
fsck.ext3 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor…-part3 failed (status 0x8).
Run manually!
