Hard drive problems

Hi.
I'm having a problem with an IDE 250gb drive (used primarily for mp3).
The problems started around 2 weeks ago when my niece knocked over the
computer that contained the drive. This wrote off a 40gb drive that
the OS was on (Fedora 7). I used another 40gb drive (that I knew was
slightly shaky) and reinstalled the OS.
The 250gb appeared to be OK and undamaged... After reinstalling I
could mount the drive in the desired location (/mnt/mp3) with the
command "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mp3" and everything appeared to
be fine.
However, as I was aware, the shaky/dodgy 40gb drive gave up the ghost
after around a week and died. By this time Fedora 8 was out so I
bought a new drive, downloaded F8, installed etc and rebooted.
Any now I cannot mount the partition/drive on the 250. When I try to
do so all I can get from it are two directories "grub" and "lost
+found" and some files (config, initrd, System.map, vmlinuz).
The drive appears to be made up of (default layout on install) three
partitions.. sdb, sdb1 and sdb2. By mounting sdb1 I get the
directories/files detailed above and if I try to mount the other two
(sdb and sdb2) I get the following error "mount: wrong fs type, bad
option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2".
Is there anything I can do to retreive my mp3? Its taken a long time
to build up that collection and Im hesitant to wipe the drive if it
can be recovered. So this mail can be summed up in one word....
"Help".
:) Regards
Tam
