Hey all. hope someone can help me.
I just installed madriva LE 2005 64-bit on my machine. I got it up and runnig and everything worked fine. Then I wanted to create a fat32 partition so I had a patition that I could read and write on in mandriva and winXP. So I intered windows and split up one partition into to.
Now then I start mandriva there is an error. it says.
fsck.ext/dev/hda7:
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 -b8193 <device>
: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda7
Failed to check filesystem. Do you want to repair the errors? (Y/N)
(Beware, you can lose data)
"then I type Y, and it says"
Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
