Sorry for using english, I'm running on a old liveCD.
When I boot my system (Ubuntu 12.04) half an hour ago, it crashed.
Only black screen with mouse pointer show up after login into lightdm.
I rebooted, get dropped into initramfs prompt. The disk keep spining up and down.
Tried mounting the filesystem, but in vain.
Now I booted from liveCD,
# dd if=rootdev bs=4k skip=1 count=1
and got:

which is not at all an ext4 FS
Then I tried
# mount -t ext4 -oro,sb=163840(or 32768, etc., the common backup superblock position) /dev/sda5 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5
.....
smartctl -a gives some panding sectors
Then what else can I do to recover/mount my system?
And does it look like I have to replace the disk?
