Input/Output error

Hi

I accidently turn off my computer which runs Fedora 2. After that I am not able to boot anymore, it seems that one of the partition has been damaged (/dev//hda2).
I have tried to load the partition in rescue mode but it give me the error : "Input/Output error"

Is there anyway to fix this? I do not want to reinstall or reformat the partition as it is used during boot time.

Please help.

Hi johnson_steve,

I have tried to do that but it failed saying it might be a zero length paritition although the fact that is much bigger than that.

maybee the patition table got screwed try

fdisk /dev/hda

if the table is corupted you can fix it manualy if you know how you had it set up in the first place. if that doesn't work im not sure that you can recover the data

Hi johnson_steve,

I have tried access /dev/hda, every paritition is listed. However, when I try to verify the partition I get this message "62 unallocated sectors". Sounds to me that the links are broken. I went to expert mode, but not sure what to do.

I am still a newbie, please help.

Thank you.
