Please tell us what distribution was originally used.
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?

HTH, Chuck
