unable to mount
I installed fedora 9 on my lenovo laptop which was preinstalled with vista basic.Now I dualbooted It.Today when I choose to boot vista from boot menu
it only shows me "rootnoverify,chain loader+1" I unable to boot vista. So I booted into fedora to check wheather any problem occured . When I tried to mount c drive which was preinstalled vista it show error like this "Failed to mount /dev/sda1:input/output error.1>NTFS is either inconsisent or 2>you have hardware faults,or you have a softRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In 1st case run chkdisk /f on windows then reboot into windows twice.The usage of /f paameter is veryimp. In 2nd case if u have softraid/fakeraid then 1st u must have activate it & mount a different deviceunder the /dev/mapper/ directory,plz see dmraid" So is this the h/w problem or os problem or anything else ?? Plz suggest me what'll I do ,If I am formatting it ,I've to backup my data from that drive ,Is that possible from fedora ?? |

What is the error you're getting now ?

What kind of laptop and hard disk setup do you have there ? Could you post the output of "fdisk -l" without the quotes ? Also, post the output of /boot/grub/menu.lst (it maybe /boot/grub/grub.conf or /etc/grub.conf in your case). |
EDIT: Damned ! I only clicked "Post Quick Reply" once ! It got posted twice !!
