[TriLUG] Help! Red Hat v7.2 / IBM ThinkPad T21 crash

[Robert Heinich]

I could use some help in recovering my system.

Upon boot-up,  I receive
   Error reading block 65710 (attempt to read block from filesystem 
   resulted in short read) while doing inode scan

Tried
   fsck -y /dev/hda and it reports that
      Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
      fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to 
                 open /dev/hda

Tried
   fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda
      and 
   fsck -b 16385 /dev/hda

   both report Bad magic number in super-block while trying to 
               open /dev/hda

The Win98SE boots ok.

If some kind soul would call me, I would appreciate it.

advTHANKSance,
