Please tell us what boot manager is/was used. Please tell me what 'stab' is (fstab?). If 'fstab', send us 'fstab' as attachment or inline. If you can boot from emergency/recovery/install floppy or CDROM, send us the output of 'fdisk -l /dev/TheDriveInQuestion'. If you have an install distribution CDROM, why not reinstall without formatting?
