well, my box is running 24/7.
today i came to the box and saw a black window when i opened the screen. (i dont have any screen saver or autoclose screen). there was no response from the input devices (mouse, keyboard). so i pushed the "reset" button.
then my eyes became black:
it was:
loading grub from stage 1...
error 17. then another restart an again and again...

i tool my knoppix cd and booted from him.
i tryed to mount /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda3 and it gave me same error.
i did "fsck -c /dev/hda1" (its the /home partition) and after not so short time it finished with some errors, but, i could mount the partition (in knoppix).

i decided to do same with /dev/hda3 (my / partition) and tryed to mount it. (both of the partitions are ext3), but:
Code:

root@ttyp0[mnt]# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3
 /dev/hda3: Input/output error
 mount: you must specify the filesystem type
 root@ttyp0[mnt]# mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3
 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3,
        or too many mounted file systems
 root@ttyp0[mnt]# fsck -c /dev/hda3
 fsck 1.35-WIP (21-Aug-2003)
 e2fsck 1.35-WIP (21-Aug-2003)
 fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda3
 Could this be a zero-length partition?
 root@ttyp0[mnt]# e2fsck -b superblock /dev/hda3
 e2fsck 1.35-WIP (21-Aug-2003)
 e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda3
 Could this be a zero-length partition?
 root@ttyp0[mnt]# e2fsck /dev/hda3

well, i doesnt have any idea what happened (maybe it coz of some electrecity falls i had 2 weeks ago..but it worked fine after it)
any suggestions???

thanks, Nicko.

Just a thought - did you try running fdisk or cfdisk and verifying that the partition still shows up on that drive?
