I've got a bit of a problem folks..

I ran the hdparm copmmand on my HD and now I cannot get linux
to boot (it reaches the end of the kernel config and is about to run
system services when when it states that "error reading from file
libc.so.6. file data is invalid").

I cannot seem to get back into my drive to run e2fsck on it,
the rescue disk I have won't allow me to mount the device
(in this case /dev/hdc which contains hdc1 hdc2 <hdc5 hdc6>).

I am at my wits end here and need immediate response (if possible).

at the moment, I can only use windows 98.

someone please help!
