hard disk failure

[Michael Havens]

tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 says Bad magic number in super-block while trying to
open /dev/sda1
out of curiosity I decided to run this with my other partitions and all of
them returned the bad magic number error except sda3 (that is my clones
drive. sda2 is swap.

And I ran this command:

     dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null;dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null

and the reply was:


     55285760+0 records in
     55285760+0 records out
     28306309120 bytes (28GB) copied, 908.02 s, 31.2 MB/s
     781250000+0 records in
     781250000+0 records out
     400000000000 bytes copied......

so what? is this hexadecimal or something?
