Um.... if the starting location of the partition is wrong, you do
***not**** want to run fsck until fix the partition boundaries.  Using
fsck -b <superblock number" when the partition boundaries are wrong
will ****not***** work.

Try using a tool like gpart to determine the partition boundaries, and
fix the partition boundaries *first*.
