hi guys,
I have problem with my fedora, here is the error:

-it will not go to gui instead some errors pop-up;

error
e2fsck: cannot contine aborting
fsck.ext3.No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdc

I tried the command fsck -y and fsck /bin, and this is the result

the superblock block could not be read,superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

thanks in advance

Ok...so did you run the command as suggested? What it's indicating is that you're having a hard drive problem. And what version of Fedora are you using?

Yes, I have already run fsck -y and fsck /bin under root, and those were the messages appeared.
I have have not yet tried e2fsck -b 8193 <device>, because I dont know what to fill up on the device option.
My fedora is 2.6.24.7~92.fc8 (fedora8 right?).Is there any possible cause except corruption of file on the system, the box i think is only more than 1 year old? Is there any chance or way we can repair this one. CCTV video files are on the HDDs, its so important.

My system is compose of 2 HDDS (primary 500GB and secondary 1 Tera)

Thanks in advance.

From that command prompt you drop into enter these commands and post the output (use [code] tags as I have for readability)That's a lower case ell in the fdisk.

Not surprising, given the typo - /boot/grub/menu.lst
Maybe use cut-and-paste.
Also "cat /etc/fstab" might be useful.

Really?? You posted the device name in your initial question, as /dev/sdc. Also, you've only got two others, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. Boot from a CD/DVD, drop into rescue mode, and try to run a 'standard' fsck on all your devices. The one that fails, put the alternate superblock in it.
A one year old system, running a VERY old version of Fedora? The latest is 15...FC8 has been out of support for years now. And really, if the fsck doesn't work for you, then you've got a dead hard drive. The only thing you can do is replace it, and reload from your backups. You say you've got important data on the system, so you DO have backups, right?
