You don't mention the filesystem type, or drive type. You don't say why you couldn't run fsck from the Ubuntu LiveCD. Is this ext3, with the journal inode being toast? Since ext3 is the default filesystem under Ubuntu. What caused the problem in the first place? fsck has a "-y" option, which generally is a good idea unless you think you are going to have to sort stuff manually, which answers your "yes" to everything issue. If it is just a root/system disk with no user data of consequence, I'd probably just install over. Once "badblocks" or similar was run to check it wasn't a physical disk issue, life is too short to try and recover iffy filesystems if they don't have crucial data on, especially if it was the ext3 journal that went.
