my hard disk corrupted and can not be mounted.
the "/" was lost, and I just check in windows 2000,
with PQ partition magic, has found 3 partition error,
the LBA value does not equal CHS value, and then I
choose to repire the error, but I still can not boot
with this disk.

is there some tools beneath Linux for checking
and repairing the error of partition ??

I do not need fsck, because fsck can not know that partition,
and report zero-length partition.

and my computer crash just caused by that "fsck"!!!!

Maybe a better understanding of what you have would help.  Do you have 2
partitions, one with W2K and one with RH?  Did you make a boot disk for RH?
Did you install GRUB or LILO?  More?

no, I install RedHat 8.0 in single disk and because I can not find any
proper tools for checking and repairing the hard disk, so I use a win2000
machine to check the linux disk. that is all, there is no problem of
multi-system in one disk.

I install GRUB in Redhat 8.0, and now, I can run Grub, as the boot directory
can be mounted
and I can not mount the root "/" directory manually!

and fsck can not see that partition /dev/sda3, which the root directory
resids on.
and now I can view the partition with "fdisk /dev/sda"

how to fix this hard disk error??? I have much important data on it!!!

I have fixed the error of hard disk,
not with Redhat, but e2fsck from Turbo linux bootable disk.

I am confused with that now.....
