Normaly, after crash on reboot it will ask you if you want to run fsck, so Your option are Yes/no this will normaly try to repair and continue ... did it fail and is it giving error ?

Is it at boot time and is it you root/boot disk or is it an application disk ?

please tell us more

You should be given a root login for maintenenace, from there run :

# fsck /dev/hd
# exit

, where XY is a number of your root partition.
