I recently tried to install Win95 over a DOS partition hoping it would leave my Linux partition alone. It didn't. Linux starts booting, then starts spitting out errors. If I boot from a floppy, then try to mount, I also get the errors. Running e2fsck on the partition gives me _many_ messages such as:
Error reading block 172104 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error<y>? yes I haven't let it run to completion as it takes many hours and I don't have confidence that this will fix it anyway. Is there any hope for this partition? If so what? Or should I just give up now and re-install? I have stuff on there I'd prefer not to lose if possible.
