The FortiGate typically comes with 3 partitions. say 1,2,3. The 1 and 2 are used to store FortiOS. At any time only one of 1 or 2 is active but not both. 3 is always active. The Ext3 error shows the partition file system corrupted. However, if it is a problem on the partition 3, formatting booting device would not help. You can format this partition in CLI with command ' exec disk format' . It will remove all logs stored on disk. You may want to try burn the image to another image partition and boot from it. In FortiOS v4, you are able to select the non-active partition, and then upload and boot. In FortiOS v5, a upgrading from GUI will boot you into another partition.

the CLI command (from Console window) is

 exec formatlogdisk
