@shashwat : install ntfsprogs in your ubuntu. then run this command :

"sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda5 " .may be you should have to reboot into window$ if available.

 

[Dark Star]

^^I don't have Ubuntu and don't have Windows

 

[humanbeing]

dont worry ,some live distro ,use "ntfsfix " tool

 

[Dark Star]

Used Ntfsconfig but getting same error

$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': 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). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for the details.

^you now need window$ or some win livecd to rescue that partition. my bet is ,you backup the data on that partition ,then reformat as ntfs or whatever and replace data. -else use some win live cd.

use force
and beat the crap out of obstinate partition

a typical example to be forceful

UUID=C21477C91477BECB /media/dld ntfs defaults,force,umask=007,gid=46 0 1

What kind of game would have such a stupid name ?

 

[xbonez]

well, then what is 'Partion Revivde' supposed to mean?

/dev/sda5 3188 4520 10707291 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 5738 8287 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

Your disk's partition table is not correct yet. There is a little unpartitioned space between /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6.
Try to use force option as suggested by other members.
Boot up from any LiveCD or boot up other installed Linux and execute this

mkdir /media/sda5
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5  /media/sda5  -o defaults,force,umask=0
ls /media/sda5

* I assumed that device name assigned to NTFS partition in question will remain /dev/sda5 on booting from LiveCD and/or Harddisk. Change it accordingly.
You must have root privileges to execute above commands even if you are using LiveCD.

Yea there was 10 Gb unpartitioned space.. I created anew NTFS using Gparted .. Now how do use force :! Please help me I never used that

Bump Somebody help

 

[paroh]

Try partition disk doctor

 

[Flake]

As I mentioned in last post, change device name according to output of fdisk -l command.
NTFS partition is /dev/sdb5 now.
Execute this

mkdir /media/sdb5
mount -t ntfs-3g  /dev/sdb5  /media/sdb5 -o defaults,force,umask=0
ls /media/sdb5

 

[Faun]

^^may the force be with you !

btw ghost at rest where were you all the time ? Should have joined this forum well before and helped many till now.

where is teh force switch ???

use force man !

 

[Flake]

$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).

/dev/sdb5 partition has been corrupted and wont allow write access. Try to mount it as Read only. If it mounts, copy its data and recreate/format partition.

mount -t [B]ntfs[/B]  /dev/sdb5  /media/sdb5  -o   defaults,force,umask=0
ls /media/sdb5

I am using Linux for last two years only. Frankly, I didn't know about digitforum and joined other. I was searching for an Indian Forum where I can meet my own people, learn and help others ( if possible ).
I am glad I find digitforum !
