My PC dual boots XP and Kubuntu.
While trying to reformat a 1 gb Memory Stick/Flash Drive under XP I
somehow stuffed a SATA HD by apparently renaming it and formatting it,
though as it didn't sit there forever formatting, I'm guessing that I
just wiped the partition table somehow.
When I boot Kubuntu I get the message:-
"The Superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. Run e2fsck with an alternative superblock:-
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
---------------------------
In Kubuntu's /etc/fstab it shows that the drive is (was) ext3 .
dmesg | tail after boot shows "Can't find ext3 filesystem on /dev/sdb1
Should I run e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdb1 or e2fsck -b 8193 /media/sdb1 ?
Just another learning experience and a reminder to never trust Windows.
Thanks
Bill
