If not, you can download a Windows Recovery CD from here (http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/tools/bootdiscs/xp_rec_con.zip). I would boot that, go to the "recovery console" and do: map That will give the drive letters for all the partitions on your drive, so choose the one that is sda5 (it will be the 3rd NTFS partition listed by "map"), and then do: chkdsk /r E: But replace "E" with whichever is sda5's drive letter, and run the chkdsk command as many times as it takes until it reports no errors. Then try booting into Ubuntu again and mounting it, and please post any errors you might get. Also, please post: sudo fdisk -lu Note that uses "-lu" rather than "-l" so we can see the start/stop values of your partitions in sectors, rather than cylinders, which will help us discern if you might hav
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 come across a solution. Now, before we begin, this ubuntu input/output error during read on /dev/sda 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 input output error ubuntu usb 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 https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1062855.html 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 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 https://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/howto-fix-an-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/ 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...

The problem is gparted will not touch the partition until it is repaired but I don't know in what way it is broken because XP works fine and whilst chkdsk reports a problem output error it refuses to fix it. I don't know if this is related to the problem but recently I accidentally knocked the PC whilst it was booting, and this caused a "boot loop". This is described in what follows (lifted from my query to another forum):...........This is what happens: 1) switch on PC 2) Hear the fan working (loud) 3) Hear a single click 4) Intel Inside logo is displayed on screen 5) fan slows (goes quiet) 6) input output error DOS screen with "Start Windows Normally" highlighted is diplayed 7) lots of fast clicking noises heard 8) WinXP startup screen displayed 9) Fan speeds up (loud again) 10) screen goes blank and the Intel inside logo is displayed again and steps 4-10 are repeated ad infinitum..........And this was my solution, which worked as far as XP was concerned (again lifted from the same forum):..........I downloaded an ISO of a (32 bit) Vista recovery disk from this website: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/download- … ery-disc/. I burned it onto a CD and then booted the PC from this CD. On booting I was given option to Install or repair Vista. Neither of these were useful as I'm running XP on the machine, so I closed the window. A message then displayed saying the PC would be rebooted. So I let it reboot from the hard drive just to see if it would work. And it did!? It ran chkdsk and found three corruptions and fixed them (two were to do with orphaned files, don't really understand what it's doing). It then rebooted again and now works fine..............Running the check and repair option of gparted gives the following:GParted 0.5.1Libparted 1.8.8.git-dirtyCheck and repair file system (ntfs) on /dev/sda1 00:00:24 ( ERROR ) calibrate /dev/sda1 00:00:01 ( SUCCESS ) path: /dev/sda1start: 63end: 77834924size: 77834862 (37.11 GiB) check file system on
