Seems like the "/" directory has been trashed and the inode still in the bitmap. Can you get the / and /lost+found directory file by: debugfs /dev/hda_problem_disk dump . /tmp/rootdir dump lost+found /tmp/lostandfound then this two files some where I can download? If it is small (<30K), you can send it to me on email also. I think it should be small. If you can use e2image and make a meta data image of the partition put it some where that will also be useful.
