take it easy, my friend. do you know the power of the simple?
try the following:
start your machine with a live cd (10.04 for example). check install option. 
use the manual partition option in order to choose the partition were your 
problem is (I mean the hdd that does not work). In my case, es hda1 and also 
the starter (83 id)
follow instructions (mount in the same point you already had) In my case " / ". 
don't check format opcion but select the file extension you use (in my case 
ext4)  click next and before begin to do anything, cancel the process. Exit. 
Expulse your live cd and restart. You will see how everything is again as the 
begining.
my problem was the same as your but using 10.10 in hd1, 10.04 in hd5 and I used 
a 10.04 lucyd live CD to do what I had just explained.
Hope to help you and future users. Probably everything was because of a run out 
battery whith a pen inside usb. I restarted and probably in a wrong way. Note: 
I am a use,  not a programer nor developer and have no idea of linux commands 
and so on, but I believe and use sense common.
Best regards.
