My system has suddenly decided not to boot, giving the following error from /var/log/fsck/checkfs:-
Log of fsck -C -R -A -a

fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)

/dev/hdb1:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
/dev/hda4: clean, 49472/17465344 files, 19579827/34903220 blocks
fsck died with exit status 8

------------------------
/media/hdb1 is no longer attached.
I can access /hda1( /),hda 3(/home) and /hda4 (data) from a LiveCD distro.
What do I need to do to be able to boot ( apart from reattaching /hdb1)?
