Hmm... Is this the only operating system on the machine?

You may be able to (bear with me, I haven't done this in a long time...) use LILO on the floppy to boot your hard drive. First off, make a copy of your boot disk - work on the copy, and keep the original safe. You can either pass boot-time parameters to it, or (this may be easier) boot the disk, and edit the /etc/lilo.conf file. You should add a line similar to the following:
root = /dev/hda1
(Or wherever your root partition is). Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo to commit your changes before rebooting!

Read <a href="http://www.control-escape.com/lilo-cfg.html"><strong>this</strong></a>, and see if any of this helps... then, hold your breath and try booting your disk via the floppy... If that work, you can try to re-install your boot-loader (LILO) on the disk...

Let us know if that works, and what else you did to correct the situation. I hope that I've at least gotten you on the right track...

NAME
recover - recover a deleted file SYNOPSIS
recover [device] [options] OPTIONS
-h, --help prints help -a, --all no filtering; dump all deleted inodes DESCRIPTION
recover recovers a file which matches some ext2 - info about the deleted inode by getting all the deleted inodes and filtering them. It's based upon the Ext2Undeletion-howto by Aaron Crane. Using this utility, your chances to recover a lost file should increase a lot. QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DELETED FILE
o Hard disk device name o Year of deletion o Month of deletion o Weekday of deletion o First/Last possible day of month o Min/Max possible file size o Min/Max possible deletion hour o Min/Max possible deletion minute o User ID of the deleted file o A text string the file included (can be ignored) BUGS
Please note that recover does not work with ext3 filesystems, it is strictly ext2-only. For further information on this, please read /usr/share/doc/recover/README.ext2only WARRANTY
