Windows problems you fix with windows tools. –Rinzwind Jul 21 '14 at 13:58 yeah I think you have to shut down restart windows and then come to ubuntu to access it. Is the drive encrypted or something? –Chinmaya B Jul 21 '14 at 13:59 2 As the message says: "run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice." This means y
2010, 09:58 PMBackground: First, the surge protector emitted a piercing shriek. In the process of getting it quieted down, the computer tower got knocked around a bit (I had to pretty much climb input output error external hard drive linux 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 ubuntu input/output error during read on /dev/sda 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 http://askubuntu.com/questions/500647/unable-to-mount-ntfs-external-hard-drive 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/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/ and this one: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/recovering-windows-files-with-a-ubuntu-cd-ii-getting-your-files/ ...but when I enter the stuff to force the thing to mount (and I'm frankly not sure just what that means,) my terminal says this: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1433139.html /media/disk -o force $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile. ntfs_attr_pread: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults, or you have 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 you have SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first you must activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1).

Failed to sync device /dev/sda2: Input/output error Failed to close volume /dev/sda2: Input/output error ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ GSF1200SMarch 18th, 2010, 10:47 PMHere is a suggestion for you: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda2 sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/disk This should in theory reset the logfile and grant you access to the ntfs partition. I should warn you though- when it has to do with power outages especially when the hard drive is writing data, the filesystem often time gets corrupted, etc. Let us know if this works or not :) DaveskiMarch 18th, 2010, 10:54 PMThis is a great page for all kinds of data recovery if you still can't mount your ntfs parition: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery Auspic
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, https://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/howto-fix-an-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/ I've come across a solution. Now, before we begin, this HowTo assumes that your Ubuntu http://superuser.com/questions/603595/hard-drive-error-ntfs-damaged 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 output error bytes 255 heads, 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 input output error 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...

After what I was told was a hard shutdown, the computer does not get past the system repair screen. (Windows failed to start) Booting off a live CD (linux), i tried mounting the drive to read the data off of it. Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (1497614767): Invalid argument HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...), or a wrong device is tried to be mounted, or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS), or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid). Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sda2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
