Thread: NTFS Partition Input/output errors - corrupt?


i've got external drive (well, desktop ide drive in usb enclosure), that's divided 2 partitions, both formatted ntfs. 1 works fine, while input/output errors trying access files on other.

can mount partition , see of files, cause problems when trying view or copy them.

gets part way through copying files , freezes , gets no further, other times won't work @ , gives me input/output error.

i've tried drive through enclosure on both linux , windows on laptop, , similar problems, , i've tried removing disk enclosure , using in linux desktop. same problem.

suggestions fixing partition or recovering files welcome.

try this:

1. create new ntfs partition gparted or (or command-line)
2. move files problematic ntfs new ntfs (or ext4 if wanna switch) using "sudo cp -a [old drive mount point] [new drive mount point]
3. check if new partition works, if so
4. can delete old partition

sure check ntfs partition errors (gparted during partitioning)
