Ext3 users - Oct 2002 - est3-fs: corrupted, no mount and no fsck worked

Hi, folks

A black out corrupted my file system (ext3, RH7.1). When I boot, the
following message shows up:

hdb: Quantum Fireball CR4.3A, ATA Disk Drive
EXT3-fs error (device ide0 (3,66)): ext3_get_inode_loc: group >= groups
count
EXT3-fs: invalid journal inode
EXT2-fs error (devide ide0 (3,66)): ext2_read_inode: group >= groups count
EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:42


I moved the HD to another computer (RH7.1 too) to try to recovery it, but
I got the following error:

%fsck /dev/hdb2
fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
fsck.ext2: A block group is missing an inode table while checking ext3
journal for /


Well, does anybody have any idea? (I have some non-backup'ed data and I
would be glad in recovering it).

Thanks in advance,
