I'll try fsdisk today.
If it helps any, I popped in the old install CD and was able to mount /dev/sda4 durring the live session. It mounted and I was able to read files from the partitian. I also ran fsck from the cd (before I got your message), and it said /dev/sda4 was fine. Unfortunately, I don't think I have my notes from when i installed and partitianed this machine (the date on my install CD was April 2010). When nothing terrible happened durring the first 2 years, I lost track of the notes I took. >Uh-oh. Never mind "fsck" (yet).
