TESTDISK READ ERROR EVERY CYLINDER INSTALL
I tried UBCD4win, Windows install cd, nothing would detect that there was even a hard drive installed.įinally used BootIT next generation boot cd and was able to delete/wipe partition and MBR, then I created new partition/mbr, and reinstalled windows as usual. I was able to uninstall ctm successfully, but that didn't change the read error. Rebooting and attempting to restore resulted in the same. I had a 'disk read error' after installing ctm. Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy. TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table).
Here is a brief summary of what testdisk can do: (The program is free so I am not trying to ``sell'' you all on it). Testdisk repaired this error in disk geometry as well. In my case, testdisk told me my driver was incorrectly reporting the numbers of cylinders per sector (240 instead of 255). Test can repair the generic code in your MBR, find the lost bootable partition(s), and rewrite the partition table to tell software where to find the partitions on your disks. I found the wonderful free utility, testdisk, saved me from reinstall of windows and data loss. If this happens, even if you have a backup you can not restore it, because restore software needs to find the disk, and where on the disk to put the restored files or image!
The bug(s) seem to result in corrupting the MBR (master boot record), and/or the partition table that tells your computer where on a disk to find your partitions, and bootable operatiing systems.Īfter my drive did not boot, I found that many partition management and recovery programs did not even recognize my main hard drive. Excuse me for playing the roll of technical support, for all those whose computer would not boot after uninstallying CTM.
