inode 7

[Wade Mealing]

I have tried a few things to fix this issue, but nothing seems to
work. Using a backup superblock didnt give me any luck.

I have installed ubuntu on this machine with the same partition layout
and the problem still persisted.

I'll be looking at doing another install sometime this week. After my
last attempt at fixing this issue it left my box in an unusable state.

Any ideas I should consider before doing this install to attempt to
find out exactly what is causing this issue ?

Kind regards
