Because I could not delete partitions that I needed to delete (hda5
and hda6, but hda8 is /home and I could not unmount /home), I did it
with partition magic from a floppy. Now when I reboot the machine I
get:
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda8
/dev/hda8:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.... [other stuff-should I post it all?]

I can give the root password and log into runlevel 1 (I think). I
commented out the lines for hda5 and hda6 in fstab, but the error
persists. please, what can I do?

Thank you.
