Thank you for the reply and suggestion. I apologize for the repost, I
was just getting a little desperate as no one had responded.

Reposting is a bit unfriendly, as urgent as your question may be.

Boot with CD1 into rescue mode, let the partitions be mounted read-only
and then run filesystem checking. Maybe even more has been damaged as
the partition labels seems to be gone. So it might be too necessary to
check the partitions layout using fdisk and using e2label.
