After disabling the udev rule that creates a link to device I tried to use e2fsck and specify a backup superblock but that was failing also saying it could not read the corresponding sectors. So I decided that since I would not be loosing anything I should just attempt a repartitioning. However that also failed with fdisk and cfdisk. For example, I get the errors below which I believe are not a good sign of the drive state. Tomorrow, I am going to bring the drive to work so I can hook it to Windows machine and call the Maxtor support again.
