Hard Drive not detected after Lilo command

jpi90 · 08-14-2021, 05:02 AM

I have a problem with my hard drive. I have two differents hard drives, one with windows and other with Linux.

The problem was that, after i installed the Linux Hard drive, i made a mistake and installed the GRUB in the Windows hard drive.

Since then, the windows hard drive started to function really bad, sometimes i couldn't even boot from there. But so far it still woked.

Trying to fix this, i found a guy who suggested to do "lilo -M /mbr /dev/sda" (sda was the windows hard drive). So i try that. Since i did that, my hard drive is not recognized anymore by my Linux.

I can't even read my data to save it!!

Does anybody can help me with this? How can i make the hard drive works again??

Thank you very much!!

Before you do anything else, boot from an external image on CD/DVD/USB and copy your data to safe storage! With any luck, your Linux installation image will do for that. Then you can deal with fixing the hard drives.

Hi hazel,

Thank you. The thing is that, I can boot from my Linux hard drive without any problem, but once I am there I can’t see my windows hard drive to recover the data. I tried to mount it but with no success.
So I think that if I boot externally from a usb, it will be the same, I won’t be able to see my windows hard drive.

What exactly do you mean by "I can't see it".

Is there a device file for the drive in your /dev directory? I would expect it to be called something like /dev/sdb.

Are there device files for the partitions on that drive? If so, do you know which one is your main Windows partition? Is that partition listed in your /etc/fstab file? That will determine how much information you have to provide to your system in order to mount it successfully.

What happens when you try to mount that partition? If it doesn't mount, what error message do you get?

Please do try to be specific. Giving an error message is always better than just saying, "I can't..."

Sorry for not being specific.

When i tip "fdisk -l" i just see the Linux hard drive /dev/sdb. I know that my windows hard drive must be in /dev/sda.

So what i tried is: "mount /dev/sda /media/usb/". Then i get this message:

mount: /media/usb: tipo de sistema de ficheros incorrecto, opción incorrecta, superbloque incorrecto en /dev/sda, falta la página de códigos o el programa auxiliar, o algún otro error.

Which i will translate to english:

mount: /media/usb wrong filesystem type, wrong option, wrong superblock in / dev / sda, missing code page or helper, or some other error.

Please actually show us the full output of

Code:

sudo LC_ALL=C fdisk -l

If your currently in use partition resides on sdb, sda should still exist somewhere, so you can also try

Code:

sudo LC_ALL=C dmesg | grep sda

BTW, you generally do not mount complete drives (sda) but partitions instead (sda1, sda2...).

Please use CODE tags for code & output, see my signature.

I withdraw the hard drive and connect it to a carrier. Then i plugged the carrier to my laptop and run your suggestion. Here is the output:

I changed the location of my hard drives, so right now the windows drive is /dev/sdb. Here is the output:

Looks like the mbr of the windows disk is corrupted. You might be able to recover it with testdisk.

colorpurple21859 · 08-15-2021, 01:51 PM

Another option to try if the disk is a gpt disk is

Code:

sudo gdisk /dev/sdb

It will give message

Code:

"valid gpt with corrupted mbr, using GPT and will write new protective MBR on save"

If you get this message
press p to display partition table,
it partition table is correct, press w and at the next prompt y.

If you don't get the above message press q for quite and use testdisk.

The problem was that, after i installed the Linux Hard drive

Please go into your BIOS and make sure you have the correct order of drives to boot from.
Make Linux drive 1=sda windows 2=sdb
then reboot
If it is visa versa then swap it.

Hopefully you will be back.
Always look at your /etc/fstab
make sure it is in sync with your "blkid" command.
after your back in Linux again.
run run lilo.

Have no clue what your pc is but.
If you press F8 or F10 at the start it may take you to the boot device selection.

Quote:

open pkgtool Setup run liloconfig
if you installed for GPT with UEFI setup then ll.eliloconfig

once you have linux booting windows open a terminal as admin. and type

Code:

C:\> bootsect /nt60 <drive name>: /mbr

If your drive is C:\ this command will be

C:\> bootsect /nt60 C: /mbr

Thats it. GRUB should be gone from MBR, restart and confirm.

Hi, i did what cloropurple suggested. Here is the log, what option should i use?

root@localhost:/home/juan# gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.3

Warning! Read error 5; strange behavior now likely!
Caution: invalid main GPT header, but valid backup; regenerating main header
from backup!

Warning! Read error 5! Misbehavior now likely!
Caution! After loading partitions, the CRC doesn't check out!
Warning! Main partition table CRC mismatch! Loaded backup partition table
instead of main partition table!

Warning! One or more CRCs don't match. You should repair the disk!

Partition table scan:
MBR: not present
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: damaged

Found invalid MBR and corrupt GPT. What do you want to do? (Using the
GPT MAY permit recovery of GPT data.)
1 - Use current GPT
2 - Create blank GPT

if i press 1 or 2 then i need to send a command, which one?

Base on this

select

Code:

1 - Use current GPT

and then p to see if the partition table looks correct and for any other errors. If the partition table appears correct and there are no other errors, press w to write the partition table to the disk.

If your not sure about the partition table post the partition table before pressing w and writing the partition table to disk, so someone can give additional input on the problem
