Thread: I just want my files! :(


hi guys,

have hp 620 laptop running windows 7. crashed 1 day , wouldnt boot up. 1 of partitions corrupt , mft bust. made bootable usb of ubuntu , decided go fixing there using commands etc. partition wont mount, nor force mount. maybe i'm doing wrong? partiton sda2, file system ntfs 3, ive being using users mount point. there 44 bad sectors on disk. can give me list of commands can try or software. want access drive can recover memories , wipe disk clean , reinstall windows.

regards, desperate 17 year old.

first thing try booting windows 7 disc , running chkdsk try repair filesystem. can download , burn own legit copies of windows 7 discs boot - google around , find 1 , burn dvd boot on hp. (can boot usb? not sure, be.)

after that, try booting ubuntu again , see if have better luck.

understand, though, if there bad sectors in files wanted save, corrupt (gone) forever. hard drives can , fail time , when do, take files them. that's why it's important make backups in case happens.
