You're aware that only a process with root privileges may access the block 
device natively (/dev/hda1)?

So, as you're mentioning apt-get I assume you're either using a flavour of 
Ubuntu or Debian. In the first case try to prepend the fschk command with 
a "sudo " and enter your password.

On a Debian box, just become root in a terminal for that: "su -" and enter the 
root password.

HTH,

Guy
