[Wolves] Hard drive failure

[Wayne Morris]

Anyone help me out with this one.

Maxtor 40 gb drive was mounted as a storage drive in a Fedora core system.
On a reboot it came up with 'SMART error back up and replace''
At this point it still mounted but most directories were missing, but kdiskfree show the correct used amount.
Now it won't mount at all, but is detectable by the bios , hdparm reports correct parameters.
Mount reports input/output error.
mount -t ext3 gives 'wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock or too many mounted file systems'

Any other tools to rescue this or is it ferked?

Cheers

Wayne
