All works fine except that the main HD where I had all my files are now inaccessible. Here is the error message I get: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's input/output error ubuntu a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details Is it necessarily a hardware problem? If not, is there a way to repair the HD from Ubuntu? windows ntfs share|improve this question edited May 15 at 19:06 muru 69.2k12125176 asked Oct 31 '11 at 15:13 Calixte 68461528 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 17 down vote accepted chkdsk /R is a pretty important command when things get hairy with NTFS. Unfortunately I don't know of a Linux tool that comes close to covering everything it does. In short, to run it, you're going to need some sort of Windows recovery disk. If you don't have one to hand, there's an ISO offered up in a thread on another set of support forums (see the first answer). There are tools like ntfsfix (part of the ntfsprogs package) that can do surface checks on NTFS disks but they don't tend to be able to fix the drives. share|improve this answer answered Oct 31 '11 at 15:24 Oli♦ 173k56436646 3 You could install Virtua
only reason I wrote it is because it was something that happened to me now and again. But what about dual boots?
$mftmirr Does Not Match $mft (record 0).
What happens when your NTFS drive goes beserk, and you only have chkdsk: command not found access to your Ubuntu install? Well, finally, I've come across a solution. Now, before we begin, this HowTo assumes
Failed To Load $mft: Input/output Error
that your Ubuntu install is working as normal, and that the NTFS partition isn't essential to Ubuntu. It's also possible (though I've not yet tried) to follow this HowTo using http://askubuntu.com/questions/74105/how-do-you-repair-an-input-output-error-in-an-ntfs-partition Parted Magic. First, we need to find out what partition we are dealing with. To do this, open a terminal and type; sudo fdisk -l That'll give you something like this; Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 https://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/howto-fix-an-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/ bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x2709a320 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 19457 156288321 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sd1 is in this case the NTFS drive we'll be working with. Obviously change this to whatever yours is. If your partition isn't listed here, or appears to be the wrong size, you'll need to use TestDisk. Next, you need to install some software called "ntfsprogs". You can do this through Synaptic or on the command line using; sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs There's just one last step. sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 With any luck, you should see the following; Mounting volume... OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. NTFS volume version is 3.1. NTFS partition /dev/sdb1 was processed successfully. And that's it! Go try to mount you NTFS partition, and it should work again as normal. If not, feel free to leave a comment below. Share this:TwitterFacebookGoogleLike this:Like Loading...

Its Seagate 500GB Hard-Drive The hard drive started doing problems when i copied files to it, and started to shut down and re-apear, every now and then until it didnt get recognised even in the Bios, whenever it dose get recognised it seems it cant mount or,the partition tables got corrupted. I ran TestDisk using GParted Live CD, and tried recovering the partition tables by running "analayze" and write to the Windows partition it showed me. after mount error reading doing so i followed a guide on youtube to mount the partition. i used Partprobe->sync->and mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ The error i get is Cant read superblock after that i tried mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/ and got: Error reading bootsector: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details. I have no idea where to proceed from here and need your help fixing this drive. Note: after writing the partition tables..whenever i get to the fdisk -l i can no more see the other partitions that the disk had.. dose this mean i deleted them using the Write on the first partition?? :( I thank you for any kind of help in the matter. hard-drive partitioning gparted hard-drive-recovery share|improve this question asked Aug 17 '12 at 15:16 Guy1984 155 This does sound like a failing / damaged harddrive. The first thing you need to do is use dd-rescue or clonezilla in rescue mode to back the entire disk up onto a new harddrive that you know is working. Only then should you bother with recovering data. I
