I booted into a different Linux installation and pondered how to make repairs. I make sure that it is enabled and that it reboots the system.

Fortunately, I always foil the desires of certain distros that disable ctrl+alt+delete, or make it behave like Windows and open a services manager. “Press any key to exit” landed at a blinking cursor on a black screen. I don’t know exactly which operations gummed up /dev/sdb, which would be good to know. How did this happen? I was installing Voyage Linux on a compact flash card, and while I was messing around with GParted and other filesystem tools I accidentally ran some commands on /dev/sdb, my main hard disk, instead of /dev/sdc, the compact flash card. Figure 1 (above) shows the cheery message that greeted me at boot. which is something very uncommon.Well there I was, rebuilding a router and having a good time when I accidentally damaged the partition table on my main Linux installation, which is a GUID partition table, or GPT. This last point is the actually relevant one, to find what exactly messed the stick (besides how exactly you made it first time), from the data on the sectors you posted, it seems a lot like a number of "queer" progrmas have been run on the stick, as a further example all "00" sectors in the second file you posted have a "progressive" signature, 813E, 823E, 843E. The suggestion - already made - was to wipe the thing ad start again from scratch, and then do not mess with it. Right now, from what you posted the device is not bootable, but you can access it's contents alright. If you want to fix the thingy, it is an idea, but only if you - for any reason - cannot re-build the thingy, to fix it to later wipe it and restart from scratch makes NO sense whatever. This is the result of the scan, but i don't know if it is successful because it finished with error.Yes, this is "good enough", the device seemingly has 8,011,120,640 want to try to fix this error first, before recreating the usb.Well, that makes no sense. The actual NTFS bootsector should start at LBA 16128, but I want to check the size of the filesystem as declared in the bootsector, TESTDISK reports the whole device to have a total of 973 cylinders, and if this is the case, a CHS Cylynder value of 973 (which actually means 973+1=974) would be invalid, this is probably the reason of the warning it throws. run: dsfo \\.\PhysicalDrive n 8192000 102400 C:\16000_200.binĪnd post this new image (possibly compressed into a. Try making another 200 sectors image, starting at sector 16000, i.e. It is really strange that any of these may have not used at all the first cylinder (while respecting the beginning on CHS x/0/1).Īnyway, what we need now is to make sure of the offset of the actual NTFS bootsector. Is it possible that the stick has been previously used with *any* number of less common "partitioning programs" (like - say, PLoP or FBINST)?

The MBR code is not a "common" one, AFAIK, and after the last MBR there is a textual reference to grldr, grub.exe and plpbt.bin.
The actual MBR has (as TESTDISK reported a non-active 05 (Extended partition) starting at CHS/LBA: There is a whole lot of (and I mean a lot) of MBR's one after the other each (excluded the first one) with active, Primary NTFS partition starting at CHS/LBA:

zip or 7z as asked), the real issue are it's contents. Yep, the file is ok (though you did not compress it to a. To find out the actual physical drive number of the stick you can use Testdisk, if the situation has not changed from the above screenshot, you seemingly have an internal hard disk (that will be /dev/sda in TESTDISK and \\.\PhysicalDrive0) and the USB stick, which is /dev/sdb and \\.\Physicaldrive 1.

7z file and upload it as attachment or post it on *any* free hosting site and post the link to it.Ī convenient way to save those sectors is by using dsfo from the DSFOK toolkit: The *kind* of program that may cause this issue are partitioning or partition resizing programs, or however a program dealing with the MBR and/or \\.\PhysicalDrive.Īnyway, extract first 200 sectors from the stick, compress the result into a. No, adding or deleting file cannot cause this kind of issues, the only things that can cause something like this is the use of a program or an actual hardware issue on the USB stick controller (but this would be extremely strange) . If there is a way to fix this error without recreating the usb will be better, because if i create new installation usb and than copy or delete new files on the usb the same error may happen again. I guess this might be the reason for this error to appear. I had other files on that usb along with the Windows XP installation files, which i deleted.
