You are correct..I followed the instruction earlier and changed the lines .
My computer is restarting but its still giving some error while running scans...it says in sbd1...superblock may be corrupt...
I will paste the log here...

Log of fsck -C3 -R -A -a

fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb1

/dev/sdb1: 
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

fsck died with exit status 8
