linux:/sbin # umount /dev/hda2 
umount: /dev/hda2: not mounted 
linux:/sbin # mke2fs -n /dev/hda2 
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) 
Filesystem label= 
OS type: Linux 
Block size=4096 (log=2) 
Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 
4882432 inodes, 9753463 blocks 
487673 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user 
First data block=0 
298 block groups 
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 
16384 inodes per group 
Superblock backups stored on blocks:  
        32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 
2654208,  
        4096000, 7962624 
 
linux:/sbin # e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hda2 
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) 
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda2 
 
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 
 
and so on for all superblock values given when running mke2fs -n /dev/hda2 
 
so I got a bit further. Still open to suggestion....
