Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
Use the liveCD they're recommending though, or alternatively go to Software Sources on your liveCD and make sure you have your repo's checked off under the 3rd tab or something like that.
EDIT: If you look at the second code box it says: Quote:

Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
I also need to re-mention that the boot manager is totally borked and throws all sorts of lovely errors when I try to boot Windows (my WUBI installation is also ****ed)
EDIT: If I buy a new laptop I am destroying this one with a hammer |

Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
There's no point in replacing the HDD -- this laptop sucks and the hard drive is all I care about (I don't want to lose my files).
It's just dumb because this problem should be entirely fixable but it's like everything's ****ing out and tossing errors/problems every step of the way. Right now I'm loaded into PartedMagic/GParted trying to see wtf I can do here |

Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
Read that article I sent you and I suggest backing up any data you can ASAP. If you get errors just google or ask here. I won't be able to answer any questions now until ~6PM tomorrow though.

Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
Looks like it's too late anyway -- third partition's ****ed, too. Doesn't even show a number under how much room is used/unused. No files show up in the manager.

Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
Your hardrive has crashed. If you have super important shir on it don't touch your laptop at all and you can spend ~$800 to scan the data but that's kinda crazy. But yeah it's dead.

Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
I feel like I just witnessed someone dying of cancer within a day... started out as one obvious problem and soon became worse and worse and worse and worse until everything died off. lol

Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
It was a Seagate wasn't it? Open that sucker up, take the drive out. Seagate? (Seriously do tell)
And no, my commands do exactly what I said they'd do, no more and no less. If you enter it wrong, yeah you can really botch things up (dd is powerful) but it can be used for precise filesystem surgery as well. The seek parameter was to skip to the desired sector, bs was to select block size of a sector (which is usually 512) and count set to 1 to say only one sector. But you better get that seek number correct. fido123 I don't appreciate implications that my commands were somehow damaging. Entered correctly and with the right values, they do exactly as instructed. I appreciate any complementary advice given but I am not here to damage anyone's machines and resent your implications to the contrary. |
