HDD repair help please

2013-09-26 Thread Gábor Hársfalvi
Hi,

How could I repair my HDD with disk manager or similar?

Because, it has got a lots of bad sector.

Before I could do that with fsck in recovery mode after umount /home. But
now it can't work - it says device in use.

Hi!
Try to boot from a linux livesystem. Then you have access to a lot of rescue 
tools. Dependend of the filesystem you want to rescue, you might want to choose 
the best option.

My suggestion:

For FAT/NTFS try UBCD4WIN, maybe also Hirens Boot CD.

For those and EXT2/3/4 and other linux based filesystems, I suggest live 
systems like Trinity-Rescue-Kit, Rescatux or Rescue-is-Possible. Also GRML is 
very good.

These alll content much tools for rescueing systems.

You might also want to look at DEFT-7.2 (32-bit) or DEFT-8 (64-bit).

Good luck

Hans

fsck cannot repair a file system which is mounted read/write.  It can only
repair a file system which is not mounted or which is mounted read/only.

However, if the sectors are bad because the hard disk is going bad, fsck
cannot fix that.  You need to determine why the sectors went bad in the
first place.  If your hard disk is going bad, it's time to replace the
hard disk.
