external usb iomega hard drive just doesn't work anymore

[stitchmysmile93]

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone can help me with my issue with my hard drive. Last night I unmounted my drive turned off my laptop and this morning I booted up my laptop and tried to mount my hard drive and I get nothing. I have no idea what happened to it why it isn't working anymore. I tried taking it apart to see if I could hook it to another machine but can't bacause it is sata and I have no hardware to try it out on. If anyone can help that would be cool... Not a hardware guy lol.

WHat is the out putof demsg when you turn the drive on. In a terminal type:


dmesg

you should get an output something like this:

[stitchmysmile93]

Actually now that I look at it it just says the same stuff over and over...

[stitchmysmile93]

Well I'm not sure what to do it is probably a problem with the hardware that cases the hard drive because it sounds fine when I power it up and does nothing when I connect the usb to the laptop...

[stitchmysmile93]

bump...

[cariboo]

It looks like you got a defective drive:


[26701.824958] sdb:<6>sd 19:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK
[26701.825776] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Medium Error [current]
[26701.825783] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error

note the bolded part.

Which files system is it using? If it is ntfs you may want to hook it up to a windows computer and chkdsk on it. If it is ext3 run fsck on it.


sudo fsck -a /dev/sdb

Jim

[stitchmysmile93]

It's ntfs and it doesn't show on a windows machine either....

[cariboo]

Depending on how old it is, the hard driver may still be under warranty. If you can take it out of the case and go to the manufcturesr web site and check the model and serial number you may be able to get an RMA to return if for warranty repair/replacement.
