I was working on PCQ 7.1 (2.4 kernel) sometime back... and faced the same problem twice.. first time I was able to recover through fsck only but second time without luck... Now I am using another hard disk on primary to boot from it and access the data on this disk on secondary by mounting it. Try if you can mount it from another hard disk and access the data.

You mean you can mount the partition an access it properly if you boot from another partition, but can't boot from that partition? That is beyond strange. 1. What error does it give if you try to boot from the partition? 2. Does fsck pass? Even if you force a check with -f? 3. What about badblocks?
