It means that you have 89606 of 528384 possible files on hda7, 2% of them are
fragmented, which is nothing to worry about.

No damage done, that must have been purely by chance. Or can you "see" hda7
from your Windows partition?

No.

Random fortune quote:
I think that I shall never see
A thing as lovely as a tree.
But as you see the trees have gone
They went this morning with the dawn.
A logging firm from out of town
Came and chopped the trees all down.
But I will trick those dirty skunks
And write a brand new poem called 'Trunks'.
