[NTLUG:Discuss] EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted!

[m m]

All:
 
when try to mount an existing ext3 HD the Frdora 7 box, get this (EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted!) error. 
see below I did:
 
# mount /dev/sdb /wwwmount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,       missing codepage or other error       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try       dmesg | tail  or so

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblockis corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

(i also tried other numbers, something > 8193, no work)

# fdisk /dev/sdb
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 36481.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
 
I have googled about this problem. no luck.
 
I use to mount it on the Fedora 6, it worked.  
 
 
Can anyone help!?
 
Thanks.
