What do I need to do now then? This?:
Swap cables again and boot with the RH rescue cd.
mount the partition and chroot to it.
invoke the command label2fs.
How does that work? Do I specify a label along with a drive such as label2fs / /dev/hda3
I am asking all these questions since I won't have the opportunity to connect to the internet during the process, and I have to know precisely what I'll have to do.

Ah ha, did you change the jumper on the back of the drive itself??

No I didn't change them, since the jumpers are in the "cable select" position. Since I play with them often I decided to use this mode to avoid mingling with the jumpers every time.
Thanks to both of you for your answers!
