So, my laptop has Fedora 11 (x64) installed on it, but the root partition apparently got screwed... so I booted the Ubuntu LiveCD and tried fsck'ing the partition, but I got the error message "fsck.ext3: A block group is missing an inode table while checking ext3 journal for /dev/sda2" (<- my root partition).

I have no idea how to fix it, so any help there would be needed an appreciated.

For background info, I posted a thread on Fedora Forum, IDK if there's any info that would be of any use but I though I'll post the linky just in case...

^Already tried that, I still get the same message.

What do you mean by "swapped my drive around"?

EDIT: Also, with fdisk, should I be looking for any specific info?

You should be making sure that /dev/sda is what /dev/sda used to be. Sometimes they end up having different names after a BIOS reset, which is why you use UUIDs for defining root instead of using direct device names.

Oh alright well I didn't reset my BIOS, and I only have 1 HD anyways (it's my lappy, not the sig rig, forgot to mention that). Everything is like it's supposed to be, except my / partition is still not working.

I managed to manually boot into Windows, though, none of my other partitions are affected and my /home is all good. I'll probably just get rid of Fedora altogether and install Gentoo after the exams are over and I have time to mess around with it.
