ok im kind of lost..it seems like the file system should be recoverable...but fsck says it has errors...but im unsure whether to select yes to repair all the errors...there is a long list of questions from fsck and i hit no to them

should i repair the file system using fsck?

or should i try to restore another superblock?

or am i way off base?

im not an expert as you know.

did a test with photorec and it does recover files but i stopped it after a minute....this is a huge drive and files with no names or folders would take me years to organize. i apologize for the many posts im just trying to give u as much info as possible. if i can recover the partitions and directory of files this would save me months of work trying to make sense of a scrap heap of files. going to bed now i will check back tomorrow thanks.
