More help needed with 6.06.

Error message (at boot) reads as follows -

fsck.ext2 : No such file or directory while trying to
open /dev/hda8
File system check failed. Please repair manually

I'm fairly certain that I know why !

I just used GParted to merge /hda6 and /hda7
(prior to that, /hda7 was an empty ext2 partition
as was /hda8)

So the old /hda8 is now renamed /hda7
(I intend using this partition for /home)
and /hda8 no longer exists.

ie in GParted, the Linux part of my HD
now looks like this :
/dev/HDA5     swap 204 Mb 
/dev/HDA6     ext2 7.1Gb        6.06
/dev/HDA7     ext2 7.05 Gb     /home

I can get into Ubuntu and everything
seems to be working OK.

What do I need to do to repair the filesystem
and get rid of the error message ?
