Topic: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

I have had to stop doing investigation myself on my corrupt /dev/sda5 partition due to time constraints. The /dev/sda1 partition has also has some flash warning 's in the logs you will se below.

This image shot is the entire drives partitions from GParted Version 0.5.1.

Furthermore, the properties of /dev/sda5 showing the ERROR s as well:

Here is the log in order of when they were created ( since I never changed them AFIAK, the modified metadata should show it's in chronological order.

Successfully resized NTFS on device '/dev/sda5'.
You can go on to shrink the device for example with Linux fdisk.
IMPORTANT: When recreating the partition, make sure that you
1) create it at the same disk sector (use sector as the unit!)
2) create it with the same partition type (usually 7, HPFS/NTFS)
3) do not make it smaller than the new NTFS filesystem size
4) set the bootable flag for the partition if it existed before
Otherwise you won't be able to access NTFS or can't boot from the disk!
If you make a mistake and don't have a partition table backup then you
can recover the partition table by TestDisk or Parted's rescue mode.

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

We can fix this problem. Reversing the steps is very difficult because the ntfsprogs commands will fail because there is an error. Hence it is best to fix this problem directly.

To proceed we will need copies of the Master Boot Record and the NTFS Partition Boot Record.

You can capture the Master Boot Record in a file with the following command:

NOTE: Be extra careful to type this command in properly, otherwise loss of data could result.

dd if=/dev/sda of=sda-cokyen.mbr bs=512 count=1

where sda-cokyen.mbr is the name of the file that will need to be uploaded.

You can capture the NTFS Partition Boot Record in a file with the following command:

NOTE: Be extra careful to type this command in properly, otherwise loss of data could result.

dd if=/dev/sda of=sda5-cokyen.pbr bs=512 count=1 skip=20971503

where sda5-cokyen.pbr is the name of the file that will need to be uploaded.

Then upload these files to a media sharing site, such as mediafire or filefactory, and post the link to these files in this forum post.

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

tried to backup the MBR and the NTFS Partition Boot Record as you can see in my history of commands but I think I messed up there or either when I did the command you gave me, i didnt realize exactly what dd did and that it essentially could be used as a backup image or actual partition. Note some of the commands are invalid and or didn't know the effects.

root@:-# history

642 if=/dev/sda of=sda5-cokyen.pbr
643 dd if=/dev/sda of=sda5-cokyen.pbr

644 sudo -s
645 sudo -s
I THINK this is where I tried to "backup" the MBR and NTFS Partition Boot Record

646 /ded/hda1
647 $dd if=/dev/sda1 of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
648 if=/dev/sd1 of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
649 if=/dev/sda of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
650 if=/dev/hda of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
651 if=/dev/sda1 of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
652 if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1
653 if=/dev/sd1 of=/dev/MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
654 if=/dev/sd1 of /dev/MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
655 if=/dev/sd1 of=/dev/MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
656 dd if=/dev/sd1 of /dev/MBR-backup bs=512 count=1

I have recieved many many errors including these some when I open up sda5 ( im not sure if it would appear before when I got the other error for the log vol in gparted) :

And the terminal wont let me change the background settings ( it was black bg white font now it's reversed'; also, look at the greyed out area.) I dont know if other stuff on my nix root got messed up. :

And a last screen shot of an error to help you gratefully play Sherlock Holmes- the backup partition ( IIRC ) /dev/sdb/ is having no luck finding a mounting point :

Lastly, can I trace a log of the dd command results I looked up the reference for the unix comand but all I see in the comprehensive doc is that you can add a argument that species a log files name to add. Will /var/log/ contain a log of this?

Thank you so much and I hope I can just get some knowledge before I screw anything else up on the nix os ;P

Cheers

P.S. Would gparted like me to use clipping or for the matter, TGA files or something?

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

The commands must be entered EXACTLY as I stated in post #2. These commands are dangerous if not entered correctly and can destroy your data.

If you are not comfortable entering these commands, perhaps you might seek the help of someone who has a more in-depth understanding of computers and partition tables.

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

Since you were trying to shrink the partition, we will decrease the NTFS volume size to fit within the partition.

The change I have made to the file is from a length of 209,789,936 sectors:
00000020 00 00 00 00 80 00 80 00 F0 23 81 0C 00 00 00 00
To a new length of 101,956,521 sectors:
00000020 00 00 00 00 80 00 80 00 A9 BB 13 06 00 00 00 00

Note: The NTFS volume size is always 1 sector less than the total number of sectors in the partition table entry because the NTFS backup sector is not considered part of the NTFS volume.

To apply this change:

1) Download the new NTFS PBR: sda5-cokyen_new.pbr

2) Load the new NTFS PBR on your hard disk.
NOTE: Be extra careful when entering the commands. Data loss could result otherwise.

dd if=sda5-cokyen_new.pbr of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 seek=20971503

3) Reboot the computer

4) Check that the file system is recognized in GParted

5) If all seems fine then I would advise booting into Windows and running "chkdsk /f /r" multiple times, until there are no more faults.

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

Hey I did as you said and ran chkdsk with the Fixes errors on the disk /f and/r ( Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information) parameters.

I then verified the copying of the new pbr file worked by copying the pbr file to cokyen folder and used a hex editor to verify A9.... string you changed was there but it was the old F0.... one ...

Heres my log of tampering with the command the bolded lines that did what I wanted ( correctly ): not sure if others messed it up.

and say it was still the and the following errors are still shown in gparted for sda5 that were there before. and checked the latest event viewrs Applications -> WinLogon Log:

NOTE: I did dd if= [ drag the file from jump drive to terminal ] of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 seek=209715033

720 dd if=sda5-cokyen_new.pbr of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 seek=209715033
721 dd if='/media/UDISK/boot records/fixed/sda5-cokyen_new.pbr' of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 seek=209715033

it found free space marked allotted in the MFT bitmap for one.

I probably need to run it several times but what will multiple runs do that the first did not do?

NOTE: i tried the copy of the new pbr to my pbr and then copied that to a file in the cokyen file using the reverse order of input and output where the inputs the sda5 and the outputs the file named C_okyen_new_2 and it still had the old f0 Hex string
Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

You have to type in the command EXACTLY as I stated. Otherwise data loss will result.

In this quote from your message, you used seek=2097150331, not seek=20971503 as was stated.

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

By the way, ubuntu doesnt give the logon error now. But would doing the dd if of command again correctly fix it

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

Thanks so much I fixed it by redoing what you said correctly using a backup .pbr file on my jumpdrive ! However, this whole mess was caused by me messing with sda2 and sda5 moving and resizing the partitions; should I just try to resize the data partition? I am afraid it will get corrupted again since I am not sure if Version 0.5.1. handles windows ntfs resizinfg from ubuntu. The docs had a lot of references with uncapabilities doing so. Ive seen .4 versions had trouble and all kinds of reasons having toruble!

Thanks So Much; am glad it actuall works after it being so messed up I didnt think the pbr was recoverable

Re: [SOLVED ]Logical Drive and Other Partition Error:

It is good to hear that your are up and running again.

If you do decide to reorganize more partitions, then I highly recommend that you download and use the latest GParted version.
