This is most probably a hardware fault and I doubt you can do anything with Ubuntu to fix it. If it's a HDD with USB casing you could try to connect the drive directly to your system (internally) and try to recover the data using dd_rescue or similar tools. In any case, it's best that you make arrangements to get it replaced. > ***************************************** > > If somebody has any idea where to go from here, please send your > suggestions. > > > > > > -- > Alok Singh Mahor > CSE, IIT Delhi > www.alokmahor.tk > > Join the next generation of computing, Open Source, and Linux/GNU! > > -- > ubuntu-in mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in > > -- Sent using the magic of the interwebs. http://ritesh.posterous.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
