I have a problem my W7 does not start for any reason, I have tried all the safe modes but the problem persists, I started the PC from Linux Ubuntu 14.2 in the USB configuration I had to change the boot of the PC, when entering the hard disk from llinux the hard drive throws me this error:Įrror mounting / dev / sda3 at / media / ubuntu / eMachines: Command-line `mount -t' ntfs '-o' uhelper = udisks2, nodev, nosuid, uid = 999, gid = 999, dmask = 0077, fmask = 0177 »« / Dev / sda3 »« / media / ubuntu / eMachines »'exited with non-zero exit status 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input / output errorįailed to read NTFS $ Bitmap: Input / output error User team: ~ $ badblocks -s -v -n -f / dev / sdcīadblocks: Permission denied while trying to determine device size

I tried to use badblocks but it tells me: Greetings, I have tried to recover files from a 640 gb hard disk, it was drive c: of a lap, it worked with win7, the disk was damaged (I ignore the how, it is not mine), when connecting it as external, in windows to Sometimes it detects it and sometimes it does not, but it does not allow me to access it, I connect it to a pc with Linux, it detects it sometimes and sometimes it does not, the intention is to try to recover several data folders (mainly photo and video of a photographer), I already recovered 56 gb of 280 gb which are the relevant ones, but I can no longer access the folders that I want to recover, if I insert the disk, I open folder by folder and when I get to a main one it tells me:Ĭould not display all the content of «Photos xx»: Error getting information for file «/ media / pc / E83E5A7F3E5A472A / Documents and Settings / F / Documents / Photos xx / xx»: Input / output error

Sorry if I made it too complicated, it is not a super simple topic to explain 🙂 Maybe if you fix enough sectors then SMART won't detect them as bad and (maybe) won't try to replace them (and show error on failure). When we have problems with SMART, the vast majority of the time it means that SMART no longer has any more clean or non-corrupt sectors in its space reserved for it, that is, it cannot change one with problems for one without them as before. The truth is that this is not the case, SMART is a 'something' (system, etc.) that saves a part of the HDD and leaves the largest part for us, then, when some sector in the large section suffers damage, SMART changes that faulty for a new one, clean in the other part of the HDD, the one that is 'hidden' or 'missing'. When you buy a HDD of (for example) 500GB, we see that we can actually use (for example) 468GB, and we think that the other GBs that we lack have been stolen. I will try to explain it simply and briefly 🙂 So I recommend you leave the computer there quiet, without moving it for the necessary time, that and a lot of patience 😉 It could easily last for hours or days depending on the size of the hard drive, how damaged it is, the speed of your computer, etc. It will take a long time, and I repeat, quite. Normally if the HDD were mounted badblocks would not check the sectors that are being used, but, as I already warned you and advised that you can NOT have the hard disk mounted, we will use the -f parameter to force the recovery of all possible sectors

-f: force reading and writing on devices that are mounted.

-n: indicates that we will try to use a non-destructive mode, that is, that we will try to recover those sectors but also the information that was in them.

-v: verbose mode, which means that it will show us the number of errors.

-s: indicates that the process will be displayed with percent.

The hard disk can NOT be mounted, under no circumstances can a partition of the hard disk in which they are going to work be mounted !!
