[ale] hard drive won't mount

[James P. Kinney III]

You need a new hard drive. When fsck errors out like that, the hard
drive is returning bad signals from the electronics. The actual platters
may be intact, and the data intact as well, but the control circuitry is
fried.

By a new hard drive. There are data recovery places that can mount your
old platters on their stuff and extract an image of what is on the
drive.
