Today my computer with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS stopped working and goes straight into BIOS. Boot drive is no longer shown in the BIOS and it looks like that GPT partition table information is gone. I put SSD into enclosure and loaded live Ubuntu CD from Ventoy USB (https://www.ventoy.net). Then I run Boot Repair tool, tool report is available at this link: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/dhGrzkgqMk/.

I did not proceed with any repairs from Boot Repair Tool, when I tried to access Ubuntu partitions on SSD from live CD I got error: can't read superblock on /dev/sdxx.

The SSD is Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1Tb in size.

I have full Veeam backup from about 2 months ago before I upgraded to 22.04 LTS. Is there any way that I could restore my current data from those two damaged partitions?

  • It stopped before I put it into enclosure. That computer has no monitor or keyboard attached so I used enclosure to test SSD on my laptop. – Te77 Feb 12 '23 at 02:39
  • I didn't proceed with boot repair as I don't have much Ubuntu experience and I was worry that I might create more damage so I decided to ask question first as I can always run Boot Repair tool . – Te77 Feb 12 '23 at 02:41

    Its not able to mount p4 nor anything related to p5. I might try fsck or e2fsck on all ext4 partitions. https://askubuntu.com/questions/642504/ubuntu-14-04-is-not-booting-normaly-after-a-manual-hard-boot/642789#642789 Do command twice with the different parameters. And for all ext4 partitions. – oldfred Feb 12 '23 at 03:41
  • I'll try that and report results. Thank you. – Te77 Feb 12 '23 at 03:49
