External Hard Disk's secter could not be read ?
- by mgpyone
I've an 500 GB Seagate External Hard Disk (NTFS) . Currently, I can't open it at Windows. Thus, I've tired with chkdsk command .. but still it stopped and can't continue checking disk..
Also I've tired with fsck on Mac . Then, it shows me the Error ..
/Volumes/<HD Name>/ is not a character device CONTINUE? yes
/Volumes/<HD Name>/ (NO WRITE)
CANNOT READ: BLK 16 CONTINUE? yes
THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device fsck: /Volumes/<HD Name>/:
can't read disk label
The volume I've used is around 300 GB , Thus, it's hard to back up and format again .
Thus, any helpful suggestions and solutions will be appreciated pretty well.
