Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't show the one of my windows drives. When I try to mount the drive, ubuntu shows:

ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error Failed to read $MFTMirr: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sda6': Input/output error NTFS is inconsistent.

One more problem is also there: When I try to install Windows 7 with live dvd as well as USB, the installation freezes at the screen 'Setup is Starting...'.

Please help me in this issue because there are various important files in that drive.....
