Drive gone bad



Hi all,

yep, I've one, 'controller failure' once every few reboots, can still access the drive though and want to save some stuff. 'rescue root=/dev/hda2' works fine, but the ext3 filesystem seems to be damaged: 'EXT3-fs: can't find group descriptor' plus read errors
on a sector.

Anybody any hints on how to proceed from here? How do I boot without mounting anything
and trying to run something (fsck?)

Sincerely,

Jan.
