I have been a Suse user since 6.4 came out and I have a problem with 7.2 pro on my laptop. All of a sudden it says that there is a inconsistancy and that I need to manually repair (fsck) /dev/hda2/ I have no idea what caused this altough I heard that dual booting with win2k can cause problems with file systems, if I switch between win2k to suse I need to shut the machine first and not reboot for it will cause Suse to crash during LILO. Do you know what kind of problem I am having?

Yes, it seems like Windows sometimes does not detect a partition border properly and happily starts overwriting data on the linux partition. Is you windows partition nearly full? What is the exact error message you get from Linux?
