Hello Arun,
I tried the following :
1)$: mknod /dev/hda5 b 3 5
2)$:e2fsck /dev/hda5   ( The response is shown below )
    e2fsck 1.10, 24-Apr-97......
    Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks ...
    e2fsck: Bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/hda5

    The superblock could not be read ......try:
    e2fsck -b 1751343460 /dev/hda5
    $

3) $: e2fsck -b 1751343460  /dev/hda5
    e2fsck 1.10, 24-Apr-97...
    e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while
trying to open /dev/hda5.
    Could this be a zero-length partition ?
