Partition table is fine. With either CPU fsck fails. I tried the frist 10 superblocks (1,8193,16385,24577,...,81921) all report not ext2fs.
Well if the partition table is fine, then the filesystem is probably toast. You can *try* recovering by doing a "mke2fs -S" on the partition, but this is really a last-ditch try. (Read the man page for the appropriate warnings.) Make sure the partition table is exactly as it was when the filesystem was originally defined before running the mke2fs -S, since otherwise this mke2fs command can damage a lot of data, perhaps beyond repair.
