I tried the following
# fsck /dev/hdb13
# e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hdb13
Also tried alternate super blocks
# e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hdb13
# e2fsck -b 98768 /dev/hdb13
# e2fsck -b 163840 /dev/hdb13
# e2fsck -b 229376 /dev/hdb13
Whatever i try i get the same message i.e
The super block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem ....
I tried to run the rescue disk i.e FC4 CD 1 .. but when i try to boot from this CD ..its not booting but its going to a minimal GRUB shell .
What is the solution ... I tried to repair and I tried to run rescue CD but even this failed ... what is the solution for this ..
Im even unable to find the device label also i executed # e2label /dev/hdb13 but it says unknown command
Plz help me out.
Regards,
Vikram.

jump down to runlevel 1 and try again.
init 1
type; mount (just to make sure a hdb13 actually exists its an odd figure.)
if hdb13 does not exist
<b>open /etc/fstab and replace with a correct name</b>
else
<b>umount /dev/hdb13
mount should have told you what filesystem hdb13 was using FC4 is very new so i doubt its ext2 , it would be either ext3 or reiserFS
try
fsck.ext3 /dev/hdb13
fsck.reiser /dev/hdb13</b>
