1. Check if the hard disk has bad blocks.
# badblocks -b <ext3blocksize> <ext3device>
If you have errors here, than ask again what to do in this list - I don't
know how to recover from errors like bad blocks in the journal ;-)
Assuming badblocks didn't report any errors, continue:
2. Umount the filesystem
3. Run e2fsck
If that fails, report it here and don't continue ;-)
4. Try to remount the filesystem as ext3.
If that works, you should be done.
5. If that doesn't work then:
Report the error messages here. You may continue or wait for answers ...
6. disable usage of journal: tune2fs -O ^has_journal <ext3device>
7. mount the file system as ext2 and update /etc/fstab according to that.
