What if the data is not backed up? Is there a way to fix without having to delete the data? The data is located in / var / www, / var / liib / mysql– Agung SantosoFeb 5, 2014 at 2:43

FYI, 8.04 has been unsupported since April 2013. It's not surprising that it doesn't work with newer hardware.– sciurusFeb 5, 2014 at 4:33

- Remove the old hard drive.
- Purchase and install a new hard drive.
- Install a new OS on the new hard drive.
- Connect the old hard drive to the machine, mount it, and attempt to restore data from it.
If #4 doesn't work, be prepared to fork over a good amount of money to a professional data recovery service.
