Security :: NTFS Data Recovery From Ubuntu Live CD?

Dec 6, 2010

I have a windows install that is totally hosed, bluescreens, etc. I want to try to force mount it from Ubuntu to get whatever data I can, but it won't allow me to mount. It keeps telling me to run chkdsk /f and reboot twice. But that's not possible. I was wondering if there are any ntfs tools for Ubuntu or any data recovery tools I can use to get what I can from this drive.

Ubuntu :: Data Recovery From Windows NTFS Drive?

May 5, 2010

The other day one of my hard drives on my windows system decided to stop working. Not entirely sure what happened, but it seemed that it just erased its partition header, although I wasn't able to recover it.

Anyway, I successfully got an image of the drive using GNU_ddrescue (yay!), and I'm currently salvaging what CAN be salvaged with foremost.

way to get EVERYTHING off of the drive? I mean, it seems that it's all intact (since foremost is finding so much stuff).

I've tried mounting the partition, but it's not working. (I'd post the output from the terminal, but the forum thinks there is/are URL(s) in it....)

General :: Data Recovery From External NTFS Disc?

Mar 19, 2011

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and am trying to use it to recover data from a failed External HDD (NTFS).

The drive failed with an accompanying smell of electric burning and subsequently was not recognised by Windows. It would recognice the enclosure, but told me that the drive had to be reformatted.

I removed the drive from the external enclosure and hooked it up to my PC with a power cable and USB to SATA connector. I can mount the drive in Ubuntu (eventually) and I've learned enough about BASH to navigate through the files on the drive.

Those that I can access I am able to copy across to my internal drive (VERY slowly, but it does do it) but a lot of the directories show up with an Input/output Error when I run the ls -l command.

Is there any way for me to be able to access these files or to recover them? Should I be trying a different technique rather than just attempting to access and copy the files?

Ubuntu :: My Experience Downgrading Ext4 File Systems

Jan 1, 2010

This post is not to ask for help, but rather to document my recent effort to downgrade my ext4 file systems to ext3 file systems. I don't know if it'll help anyone, but here it is anyway, fwiw.I am running ubuntu 9.10 on an older Dell GX-270, and had formatted my partitions with ext4 file systems. I began to notice partimage wasn't backing up my ext4 file systems and I decided to downgrade to ext3 file systems.My system has one 160GB drive and one 500GB drive. I also have an external usb2 500GB drive./home is on the internal 500GB drive. To convert it, I mounted an ntfs file system on the external drive, created a container file, put a file system on it, and mounted the container as a linux file system.

The backup was done done via rsync. rsync makes things really easy. It understands uids, gids, file permissions, and all kinds of links. That's one reason I created the container file on my external drive. NTFS doesn't understand uids gids, linux file permissions, or linux style links.

Fedora :: Data Recovery After Installation Not Successfull?

Sep 20, 2010

It's my first time i switched to linux (fedora13) and i wanted to check out ubuntu10. Started installation but somehow (stupid!) selected not the right harddrive to install new system from an iso dvd. Well installation was not successfull, because not the right drive was selected.I came back to fedora but my "storage" harddrive that i had all my collected data and projects is lost. Basically it's like new formated and some files from the ubuntu 10 are on it. None of my files. Is there any way to recover it back? I don't even have a clue how do you install software to fedora13?(I'm a newbee that was sick and tired using and upgrading windows - so now mac OZ and linux)

Fedora :: Data Recovery From Drive On Dead FC4 System

Jun 26, 2009

I have Fedora Core 4 PPTP server (poptop) that died (motherboard). I am setting up a replacement system but need to get the data off of the drive from the dead FC4 system. They are just plain text config files. So I removed the drive and mounted it to another system using a USB enclosure. But I can't mount of the root partition, only the boot partition. I have done some Googling and see that the reason is that the / partition is an LVM format. But of course the replacement system already has a /dev/logvol..... type of partition defined. So how can I mount the LVM partition from the dead system on the new system to get the data? Understanding this will be valuable for similar situations in the future.

Fedora :: Hard Disk Data Recovery Of Ext2 And Ext3

Jul 1, 2010

I am student of MCS and working on final project. I am the user of windows xp. I am new in Linux. I am working on a project that titles "Hard disk data Recovery of ext2 and ext3 in linux". In windows, including dos.h and bios.h header files in program of c language I can send interrupt to bios and access most of the devices like parallel port, hard disks etc. But problem is that there is no bios.h and dos.h files in gcc. Now how can I access my hard drive using c program. How can I call int13h interrupt in linux or there is any other function in the linux to access the hard disk. In fact I want to access sectors of my hard disk using c language program. How can I do it?

Fedora Hardware :: Trying To Mount Drive - Create An Ext4 Partition To Move The Data

Jun 12, 2010

I just installed F13 x86_64 on a system that used to be running Windows 7.

The boot drive is a SATA drive attached to the motherboard which is working fine.

However, my data drive is an NTFS partition filling a 3.6TB SATA raid.

It's GPT--Gparted sees 3 unknown partitions, and gdisk shows:

Code:

How do I mount this in Fedora 13? I had intended to shrink the NTFS partition so that I can create an ext4 partition to move the data to. Will this be possible?

I've got a LOT of valuable data on this drive, and nothing else big enough to store it.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Data Transfer From RHEL4 To USB HDD With NTFS

Feb 23, 2010

I am using rhel4 with kernel 2.6.9-55 ELsmp. I have recently purchased 250gb seagate portable usb HDD. I have already mounted the usb HDD by updating Kernel with mode 755 and root user. I can transfer file from usb HDD to rhel system. But I am unable to make directory or copy file from rhel4 file system to usb HDD with ntfs. It is giving error message of permission denied though the device having write permission. I have already installed ntfsprog-2.0.0 in root. But there is no improvement. Is there any thing I can do to transfer data from linux system to ntfs.

Fedora :: Copying Data From A (western Digital) Usb Drive (ntfs Partition)?

Feb 20, 2009

I'm actually not a Linux newbie, but I'm DEFINITELY no expert either... I'm trying to copy all my data(approx 50 GB) from a usb drive(western digital 250GB) with ntfs partition in one go... The problem is that it only fails for big transfers... works fine for smaller transfers like 1Gigs or less... I have just one internal hdd partitioned into two ext3 partitions.. so I have sda1(Primary.. mount pt /), sda2(swap) and sda3(mount pt /piyush)... The usb drive comes up as sdb(sdb1).. just has one ntfs partition... I've also installed the ntf-3g drivers.... but doesn't seem to work... I've also noticed that when the machine hangs and I try to shut down, it fails and I get a message again again... (sdb1- no sense detected) or something like this... don't remember the exact message... will post the exact one if no one is able to figure out what's wrong...

Ubuntu :: FATSORT For NTFS Or Ext4

Nov 14, 2010

I really need to be able to sort the directories on some of my disks - not just sort the display of them, but actually sort the contents. I remember the old Norton DS.EXE that did it back in FAT16 days before long filenames, and after some googling, I found fatsort is in the repositories, but that doesn't do NTFS or ext4...

Ubuntu preferable (obviously, since I would really like to sort some things in my ext4 partitions), but if anyone knows a Windoze program that can at least do the NTFS partitions, that will be a start... Of course, I could get a new HDD, manually create all the folders in order, and copy the files one-by-one in order, but I don't have that level of patience!

Ubuntu Installation :: Resize The NTFS And Add To Ext4?

Aug 19, 2010

I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu Lucid and Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit on a 320 GB hard drive. During the last month, I've completely moved from Windows to Ubuntu but I have to keep Windows for a few softwares like ooVoo and Office, especially OneNote. But now 105 GB for windows and 50 GB for Ubuntu doesn't seems right, as I can't copy any more files on my Desktop in Ubuntu, because it's full. I was just wondering if it's possible to resize the NTFS partition and add like 50GB or so to the ext4 partition which is my Linux's root. The NTFS drive is on /dev/sda5 and the ext4 one is on /dev/sda7.

Ubuntu :: Rm -r File Recovery On Ntfs Partition?

Jan 29, 2010

I was copying a bunch of files between hard drives. For some reason I have permissions issues, but I was able to copy the data using cp in the terminal (I know I can sort out permissions, but that's something for another thread).So, I start copying files just fine, but cp doesn't have any sort of progress indication. So, I started up another two terminal windows, cd'd to the source and destination folders, and ls -l'd each to compare the folders.

At this point, I realised that I'd forgot to add -r to the cp command, so cancelled it. I decided it'd be better to start again and add -r in, and repeat the command. So, I went to the folder, went up a level, then rm -r'd the folder I was just in. It wasn't until I'd gone through with the command that I realised I was actually in the source folderSo, putting aside all the obvious things like 'You dope, you shouldn't have been messing around with rm -r, let alone sudo' and 'With great power comes great responsibility' and 'This never would have happened if you'd just sorted out your missions and usedNautilus', is there any way I can recover the data? I know it's possible in ext2, but not in ext3, but it's on an NTFS partition. Is it possible to recover files from this
