I have a dual boot on 2 SSDs: 1)Windows7 (main) 2)Ubuntu 17.10.
After copying a folder from Ubuntu to Windows NTFS partition and rebooting Windows stopped recognizing this partition as NTFS (DISKPART shows RAW) and can't boot from it at all partition.
Chkdsk shows something like Corrupt master file table... cannot recover
.
When I try to mount this partition under Ubuntu - it shows error message:
I tried to use ntfsfix, shows the same input:
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb2
Mounting volume... ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress() failed: Input/output error
Failed to load $MFT: Input/output error
FAILED
Attempting to correct errors... ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress() failed: Input/output error
Failed to load $MFT: Input/output error
FAILED
Failed to startup volume: Input/output error
Checking for self-located MFT segment... OK
Unrecoverable error
Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.
I tried TestDisk, didn't help
I created windows VM on my ubuntu and installed Acronis Revive on it, Acronis Revive allows to do scan and even quick scanning SHOWS ALL FILES AND FOLDERS and allow to restore it (saving to another drive), but how to restore the partition's MFT instead of cherry picking?
Please help!!!
