Red Hat

I am running FC-7 which I realize is an older distro. But my question would apply to any distro.

I ran fsck on my mounted file system (I know, I shouldn't have). Now it won't boot. I get a kernel panic message.

I booted to a Knoppix Live Cd.

The desktop icon shows /dev/sda2 mounted at /media/sda2. When I perform ls -l on /media/sda2 it shows total 0.

When I perform dumpe2fs /dev/sda2 I get this message:
dumpe2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
dumpe2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda2
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

Is there any chance of recovering data from the drive or am I out of luck?

fdisk -l yields these results:
root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix# fdisk -l /dev/sda1

Disk /dev/sda1: 106 MB, 106896384 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/sda1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix# fdisk -l /dev/sda2

Disk /dev/sda2: 79.9 GB, 79925045760 bytes

pvdisplay, vgadisplay, and lvdisplay yields these results:
