After few dozen of all sort of problems and stuff I finaly got to boot.. But! Here's what I got:

Quote:

the superblock could not be read or does not descrive a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem [...] then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock.


Okey, I checked around in forum and found out that I should edit /etc/fstab, but when I tried to mount sda2 from live-cd it says that it there isnt ext3 filesystem.
Nor ext2.

And when I tried to mount other partitions it errors; ATA: Abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0x9F7

btw, if you could try to be very specific with resolutions. I dont really know almsot any commands..

Unfortunelty I've fully forgot the concent, but as far as I know all stuff is just as they were in handbook. (expect that I have SATA and therefore changed essential things like paths)

fdisk -l says;
Code:

/dev/sda1       *             1          6           48163+          83   Linux
/dev/sda2                      7          69         506042+        83   Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3                      70        36583    292495455     83   Linux

sda2 is your swap partition. You're not supposed to mount it but activate it with swapon

isnt that then live-cd fstab? O.o

I cant mount anything, from some crazy reason (it either whines ATA error mentioned above or that partition doesnt have filesystem..) so it can be hard to acces fstab on harddrive.
