Sorry, but you probably can't solve this. A power failure while
filesystem writes are going on can corrupt it, though machines
should be less prone to this with a journalling filesystem. What
filesystem was being used?

It is also in general a bad idea to run fsck, and blindly answer
'y' to all prompts. At this point, I think that you will need to
reinstall the system. If /home was on a different partition, it
might still be recoverable.
