Not properly unmounting a network (NFS, CIFS, etc.) mount point shouldn't break the target file system in any way, and shouldn't cause fsck to report errors.
Is CentOS hard drive on another computer?
In that case, what network file system protocol is used, if any?
If it's local hard drive, then, it's probably mounted as local file system (ext3 or other), and, not properly unmounting it, may cause fsck to complain.

The contents of /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab or /proc/mounts may help you.

fstab contains a static list of fs mounted at boot time.
mtab and /proc/mounts contain the list of currently mounted file systems, including ones that might have been automatically mounted by your desktop environment when HAL notified it.
