In the process of getting it quieted down, the computer tower got knocked around a bit (I had to pretty much climb over it to get to the surge protector.) Then, my computer wouldn't boot up, but my husband was able to figure out that the computer wasn't finding the hard drive and this was a physical connection issue. So he got the hard drive reconnected, and the computer found the hard drive and quit trying to boot from a CD, but Windows still won't boot up. My Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) CD works just fine. I don't care about Windows. I am fine with wiping it and becoming an Ubuntu user. What I want is to get some pictures out of Windows. I tried this guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...dows-computer/ and this one: http
only reason I wrote it is because it was something that happened to me now and again. But what about dual boots? What happens when your NTFS drive goes beserk, and you only have access to your Ubuntu install? Well, finally, I've ubuntu input output error external hard drive come across a solution. Now, before we begin, this HowTo assumes 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 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, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1433139 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 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 https://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/howto-fix-an-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/ 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...

The superblock numbers did not work. The Ubuntu 10.10 Disk Utility shows the MAXTOR partitition as Partition Type - Empty (0x00), Type - FAT (32 bit version), Device - dev/sdb1, and Mount Point - unmounted. Note: No RAID, no Windows on system. The second HD was originally created as ext4 drive and easily interchanged files with Win Vista PC. The Mount Volume returns "File system driver is not installed" and Check Filesystem says "The file system is NOT clean." ron

The guy has a lot of work on that drive*, and the risk is huge. People seem to neglect the moisture and later the condensation that will occur. Yes, I know that there is some anecdotal evidence with a lucky few of I don't know how many. Hell, even I had a dying output error Nokia 3310, which spent more of it's last days in the fridge than out of it. But still not worth the risk in this case. I don't even know how did I discover that it was working in the fridge. But the drives of the "lucky" few worked for a very short time. The HDD will reach its working temp quite fast. Especially if input output error one is trying to recover data on a 1TB disk. The Linux advice is ok, if the external case was checked for faults first. Nothing to lose except time. I recovered a few systems using Live Ubuntu. But even then it is likely that the user will have to resort to some advanced data recovery solution. When I did this the live distros were bugging a lot. My first try was with a free Ubuntu 8 CD I think. I would like to hear from OP about his progress, though. *smh at the many people referencing to porn...
