I'm curious as to the command you're entering. Are you using the complete path to fsck? I would be glad to explain WHY you need the complete path in single-user mode but I don't think that's necessary here. The command you want to issue is:
# /sbin/fsck -y Repeat until it returns no errors. Note that it cannot fix all errors. For those you'll need something stronger such as DiskWarrior, DIsk Doctor or Drive 10. If fsck reports no problems then do the following: # /sbin/mount -uw / Which will mount all local drives. Then # exit Which will initiate the multiuser startup.
