Fisrt off if the data is important and not backed up you should cc the drive if you can before doing anything. Then work recovery on the copy. Second fsck is a good start but it sounds like you have drive issues and fsck isn't designed to fix drives just file systems. I'd recomend spinrite, not open source but its well writen and how gibson supports his family. Or one of the open source drive recovery options, names escape me at the moment.

Is it possible for me to recover my data? I saw errors in the logs (see below) and tried fscking the drive (see part of the log below - in the middle of this email) and then now when I try to fsck I get this: Current situation: # fsck /dev/sdc1 fsck 1.40.6 (09-Feb-2008) e2fsck 1.40.6 (09-Feb-2008) fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdc1 Could this be a zero-length partition? Previous attempts at fsck: # fsck /dev/sdc1 fsck 1.40.6 (09-Feb-2008) e2fsck 1.40.6 (09-Feb-2008) Superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode 8).
