a big noob question do i have to do that comand to every superblock...jus one...ore keep trying until i find the one or that none of them work?

like i said...bad superblock the disk only could have superblocks util it reaches a certain number but there were superblocks with numbers bigger than the possible ones...something like that.. i couldn't boot but i could access the fs with a live cd...but does it rly matter? it's possible to get my stuff back? :? i will try to do that but if that don't work means that i cant get all my data or at least my databases back?do u think i should backup the filesystem has it is now to maybe try difrent things later or it's useless? yeah i already had done that..

before or after the format?before yes...after no..

i did search that allready and i got 2 or 3 progs running to get data back but that's not what i expected...they only get me garbage files images some mp3 that i already got backed-up but i was expecting a full restoration of the directories or at least get some mysql databases and scripts that i made...but i only get files from windows ( a lot before i stick with ubuntu i got all major linux distributions...)... :-( I was wondering if i format the partition to ext3 has it was before i formated it, would it be easier to get the files that i want or i'm rly screwed?? sorry bad english

yesterday i had a bad superblock erro on my ubuntu machine, i did my search tried many ways to put the system up and running again but i made a mistake e used "mke2fs /dev/sda1" witch formated my drive. . . . what i wanted to know is if its possible to get back the hole partition even if it has the bad superblocks beacuse then i could backup every thing. . . and i already tried foremost and it's not what i want. . . thanks in advance, ( sorry if i wrote something wrong)
