cp -dpr should be able to copy all the 8.2 / off to somewhere else, then
just make a new partion
mke2fs -j -c /dev/hdb1
-c checks for bad blocks (best to be safe)
then copy the files back from where ever you backed them up to
boot in as single user mode in 7.2 is best

I have a major problem. I have MDK 8.2 on hdb1 ext3. Previously had 8.1 on
hda2, installed 7.2 in its place ext2, mounted hdb1 as ext2 to retrieve some
files, had a problem with 7.2 requiring a hard restart, and fsck checked and
screwed the ext3 partition so that it won't mount when
