Hi
I corrupted my partition table, when I tried to get a new USB mouse detected
in text mode on a ext3 partition.
I have unmounted hda7, hda8, hda9 and hda10.
Here is the result from sfdisk -l /dev/hda:
Disk /dev/hda: 3737 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

fsck finds hda7, hda9,hda10 clean - here is the outcome from fsck /dev/hda8:
[root@Archimedes guran]# fsck /dev/hda8
Parallelizing fsck version 1.19 (13-Jul-2000)
e2fsck 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 1283184 blocks
The physical size of the device is 126132 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort<y>?
Please what should I do now?
