Madam,
pleasantly contact the people you bought your linux 7.2 from and ask them
for support.
</sarcasm>
Or:
1) contact a Linux User Group -- they usually have install parties where
you bring your machine and both learn something about the operating system
and get it fixed.
2) get a friend who is a Linux guru to help you
3) search the web -- there are plenty of pages that explain how to run
fsck.
4) if you have another machine with "Linux 7.2", check the documentation
for fsck by running man fsck.
When you write "Linux 7.2" it tells me three things:
1) you probably know /very/ little about Linux
2) you aren't precise unless told to be --
that's a very bad habit when you work with computers, and
3) you definitely don't mean "Linux 7.2". You probably mean something
like "Red Hat Linux 7.2" or "Mandrake Linux 7.2" or whatever. There
is no such thing as "Linux 7.2".
The distribution vendor (the people who gathered all the software on the
CDs you probably used) has mailing lists and support forums you can
contact, too. You can probably even do so for free, if you can live with
a fellow user answering you instead of a company support person.
This list is not for help when a disk has crashed or a file system is in
disrepair -- it is for questions on the XFree86 X server and associated
programs.

PS: How in the world did you end up asking on this mailing list? It is
probably as far away from being the wrong place as it can possibly be.
We would like to have future queries like yours directed to the right
place in the future both to help the hapless user and (most importantly)
to avoid getting them here.
Anything you can say about this will help!
