hard drive repair problem
Hi,
I must've had a power outage and though my system rebooted itself
there now seems to be a problem with a 250GB hd which I can't seem to
fix. Am pretty new to this - the fsck and dfisk outputs are below.
There is lots of data on this drive, can I get it back?
Thanks in advance,
Marty
penskefile:/home/marty# fsck /dev/hdb1
fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
e2fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
fsck.ext3: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short
read while trying to open /dev/hdb1
Could this be a zero-length partition?

penskefile:/home/marty# fdisk /dev/hdb
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30515.
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)
