Thread: Not able to mount windows partition in ubuntu!


hi,

recently, laptop failed boot windows 7. tried repair using recovery disk, of no use. not able in recovery wizard itself.

created ubuntu bootable flash drive , tried repair in ubuntu.
surprisingly has failed mount windows os drive, following error message.

error mounting: mount exited exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: input/output error
failed read ntfs $bitmap: input/output error
ntfs either inconsistent, or there hardware fault, or it's a
softraid/fakeraid hardware. in first case run chkdsk /f on windows
reboot windows twice. usage of /f parameter very
important! if device softraid/fakeraid first activate
, mount different device under /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). please see 'dmraid' documentation more detail

tried, ntfsfix dev/sda3(which os drive), says drive can mounted , processed successfully.

please me in regard!

main motive of mine recover data present in windows os drive.

welcome forums.

moved other os

ubuntu not mount ntfs partition needs chkdsk prevent further damage chkdsk not able repair. ntfsfix few minor thing , sets chkdsk flag, when boot windows run chkdsk.

need run windows repaircd or usb , run chkdsk.

if did not before, find friend same (32bit or 64bit) version of windows.

make own windows repaircd (not vendor recovery):
