I think it also needs to be clear that /dev/hcc7 meeds to be 
unmounted first:

umount /dev//hdc7

then e2fsck can be run.

if you want to see the actual errors, don't add -y, but you will then 
have to watch each one and reply with the y, and if you want to log 
it pipe it to a file.  if it fails, you will need to do this to ask 
further questions.
