2TB HD , sector errors and slow response.
Posted: 23 Apr 2013, 17:50
I have a Hitachi LifeStudio 2 TB external HD.
In Windows, the HD doesnt run and windows gives error stating that the drive needs to be formatted.
And when tried in linux [ Fedora 18 ] the hard-disk response is too slow , even exploring the directories is slow and 'am not able to play movies from the HD directly [ VLC shows no response at all ] . but once the movies/songs are copied from external HD to local PC [ the copy is slow ] , they play perfectly well .
Few months back i had some partitioning problem with the same HD , and after some search/research testdisk finally saved me .
I hope i can fix this one this time too .
Is it problem with partitioning ? or the HD is partially damaged
?
I dont care if it doesnt run in windows , but i want it to run well in Linux
below is the log file that might be of help . it indicates some block/sector errors.
/var/log/messages
Thanks in Advance , and let me know if any other information,logs are required !!
