You want to run to generate ext3:

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda5

Or what your distro provides.

Good luck

Hello Michael, thanks, I have done what you suggested and it
all ran smoothly BUT now it won't let me boot up. Perhaps this
has nothing to do with the above, but I get the message:
"partition /dev/hda3 is mounted with write permissions,cannot
check it." Then fsck gives "fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda3 failed
(status 0x19).Run manually!" :-( Ivan

Did you modify "/etc/fstab" and perhaps made some mistake? I'd
boot to single user mode or from rescue media, mount "/" of your
distro and check fstab /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab per default on
RH/Fedora while using the rescue image and it should be mounted
already. Check the docs of your distro.

Personally do not use or recommend reiserfs, but as it is a
journalizing fs it shouldn't need fsck during usually operation at
all. My guess is some mistake in your fstab.

Good luck
