[SLE] Hosed root dir

While experimenting with editing video with Kino on 9.3, I moved some files
and the machine froze. A reboot halted at the GRUB announcement. Rebooting
into Installation -> Rescue Installed System said sda2 (root dir) and sda7 (a
data dir) were corrupt, and suggested repairs, which I accepted. It also
said that sda10 (another data dir) had an unknown filesystem on it. All dirs
on the disk use Reiserfs. However, the app then hung at the stage where it
attempts to mount fstab dirs. Accessing the system via Rescue System from
the CD allowed me to mount all dirs except sda2 and sda10, and the data on
them *appears* to be OK and accessible. Reiserfsck --check /dev/sda2 just
gives up and says there must be bad blocks on the disk.
At the minute the most likely option seems to be a reinstall on sda2 (assuming
that the disk isn't totally kaputt), but that will lose my email and a couple
of files I'd like to keep, including a small db I forgot to back up. Is
there any option other than this nuclear one?
Hoping someone can help ...
