Hi,
I had occasion to reboot and got GRUB Error 17. I ran my Mepis LiveCD and
dmesg reported the following (I have deleted every line that I understood
and didn't appear (to me!) to be relevant):

I tried to mount hda3 with KwikDisc and got the following:
Called: mount -text3 -onoauto,users,exec /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3, missing
codepage or other error
I ran fsck which reported:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] e2fsck /dev/hda3
e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
/dev/hda3: recovering journal
/dev/hda3: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read
while reading block 3078
JBD: Failed to read block at offset 2551
e2fsck: Input/output error while recovering ext3 journal of /dev/hda3
I ran fdisk which reported:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] fdisk /dev/hda3
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF
disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 20806.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in
certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g. old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2
FDISK)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by
w(rite)
Where do I start to try and recover this? Grub is not recognising the
partition because something (a lot by the look of it) has gone west. What
other info can I supply.
Cheers,
Chris
