Hi Im running a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Puppy Linux Ubuntu based " Bionic " installed on a separate partition of my main drive.



Completely separate from that I have a 1Tb Western Digital external USB HDD plugged in. This has errors .. its a friends drive and has 150 movies or more on it. Windows and Linux both see the drive..and the files.. but they wont open.. well a couple of the videos do load, but only play for about 10 seconds, then they stutter and stop.



I ran , under windows , Crystal disk info to see if there were any bad sectors.. I have attached the screenshot. I was tempted to run either Victoria.. a Russian disk scanner and bad sector repair utility or Minitool pro or HDD Regenerator.. I did try a file recovery program, but abandoned that idea as it was going to take at least a full day to recover one movie.. so back to square one.. how to fix the drive?



Originally the drive would not read on Windows,, but it would open on Linux.. so i poked around to see what else i could do.. i found the instruction e2fsk to test the disk under linux.. It gave me the response you see in the screenshot.. that there was an error in the superblock. Hmm never heard of superblocks before.. anyways further research into the error message took me to this page.. https://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/



This describes a very simple.. compared to other explanations way to repair or replace the "Superblock" thus fixing the drive problem. However.. the instructions are not detailed enough for me to follow.. Would you please take a look and explain in newbie-speak.. how I to re install the backup of a Superblock. My file system is NTFS and the drive does not have any OS, its simply for saving data

Hoping someone can please assist.



Thanks
