You're a bit lazy in providing details about the problem too. Maybe if you 
imagine the problem really hard, we might be able to psychically determine 
what it is and fix it for you using telekinesis.

If you're as lazy as you say, then reinstalling will be easier than 
recovering the server, which sounds like it might be seriously hard work, 
depending on how many "errors" you "fixed" in fsck. By the way, if you 
really ran scandisk and not fsck against the filesystem, you might as well 
give up now.

If you're as lazy as you say, you might find that having good backups helps you 
to get away with it.

Cheers, Chris.
