mount disk

[koenh]

Hello,

I had the disk mounted a few days ago after it had fallen on the ground. Not everything was readable, but most was.
Today, i want to copy all information to another harddisk, but the disk does not want to mount anymore...

I have putted the content/output of fdisk and fstab.

koenh@koenh-Kubuntu-1210:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Does anyone knows a solution to get the harddisk mounted?

Already thanks!

In the console, type:

sudo blkid

Copy/paste the results for a review.

Hello,

No result.
When the disk is attached, the command remains without output. When i check system activity, the CPU usage is 'Disk sleep'.

When i repeat the command with the disk no longer attached:

koenh@koenh-Kubuntu-1210:~$ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="E082-6D11" TYPE="vfat"
/dev/sda2: UUID="1fa4576e-19ed-440b-b5d0-85735db49732" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda5: UUID="0dc06581-ad5a-4360-8f15-206a426ed363" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda6: UUID="42112b0d-7b32-44e1-9376-409f92662715" TYPE="ext4"

try

sudo blkid -c /dev/null

Hello,

I tried the last command, but even after 5 minutes, no result.

I was able to mount the disk for a short time and recuperate some data. But on a certain moment, i got another error. I don't find much information about it so solve the problem:

koenh@koenh-Kubuntu-1210:~$ sudo fdisk -lu

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb6,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

The message is immediately after entering the command. When i try the same with fe. sdb3 (with is ntfs), it takes about a minute before the message is present...

Already thanks.

Have you tried running fsck on the partition yet?
