You should have made the copy before doing the fsck run, now it is 
modified, and you can not back from those modifications.

image backup:

dd if=/dev/hdXY of=image_hdXY

And, you can run fsck on the image instead of on the real data, and test 
out different strategies.

You can not simply plug in that number without really knowing before hand
