Input/output ERROR FC3

[KIMARIO FAWKES]

I attempted to run ls -1 /etc/mtab, I got

ls: /etc/mtab: Input/output error
ls: lsattr: No such file or directory

no this is not a new install, my cousin was using it and it froze up, so he 
decided to just shut it down by unpluging the it, and when I came to to use 
it after work this was the problem I started to get.

Yes, the problem is at startup
