This is my first day on Ubuntu. My computer comes with preloaded Ubuntu. When connected to my external Hard Drive, I got this message. My understanding is that it says Ubuntu is not able to mount my hard drive and gives the following error.     Please help me understand this thing.

I am having trouble mounting my external hard drive, every time I try and do so I get the following message:    "Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/fuzzy27/My Book: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/fuzzy27/My Book"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0). Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details."   How do I go about or what do I need to do in order to fix this error/problem without losing any of the data on my hard drive?  Is there no other way of fixing it without having to reinstall windows or finding someone using windows?

I have two NTFS partitions, and I don't want to mount them manually every-time I start Ubuntu.   How can I do this?  Is there a tool or a code to use?   If so, is it safe to automount? specially when they are being used by another OS?

I'm a teacher and will ask my students to either bring their laptops with Ubuntu installed with an specific list of packages preinstalled or bring a USB Drive or External Hard Drive with Ubuntu and the packages preinstalled.  For those who are going to bring the USB are two posibilities:   Install with the Ubuntu's "Startup disk creator" program, and telling it to reserve some space for persistence. Boot with a LiveCD and Install Ubuntu in the USB drive.   Then, in either case, boot with that media and install the packages.  So, for my purpose or any other purpose:   What is the best choice and why? Do we have another option? full explanation please.

After I installed Ubuntu 13.04, I can't mount my NTFS partition.  Error mounting /dev/sda5 at /media/mrxfly/xFLyDiskData: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda5" "/media/mrxfly/xFLyDiskData"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option.

I am a new user for Ubuntu. I downloaded 13.10 yesterday and made a bootable USB with universal USB installer on my Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 laptop which is now using UEFI; everything appeared OK.  When I booted from the LiveUSB I got the choices of trying or installing Ubuntu but both of them keep giving me these error:  [ 1.929082] kernel panic-not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0.0)   Please tell me what is going wrong?

I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 and I can't mount my exFAT HDD.  I get the following error:  Unable to access “SeagateHDD” Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/me/SeagateHDD: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/me/SeagateHDD"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: stdout: `FUSE exfat 1.0.1 ' stderr: `ERROR: `Operating Systems' has invalid checksum (0x281c != 0x2450). '   I installed exfat-utils and exfat-fuse using apt-get but no luck. I also tried the repository ppa:relan/exfat but I got:  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  fuse-exfat : Depends: fuse-utils (&gt;= 2.7) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.   Can anybody give me a hint? All my backed up data is on that HDD.  EDIT:  The output of $ sudo apt-cache policy exfat-fuse is:  exfat-fuse:   Installed: (none)   Candidate: 1.0.1-1   Version table:      1.0.1-1 0         500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/relan/exfat/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages   Tried it on a Linux Mint and had the same problem. Also tried mounting it on a Mac and it worked perfectly so the data is not corrupted.  EDIT2:  It appears it was a problem with my HDD which apparently I unplugged from the USB port without unmounting and it had a checksum error. What I did was I plugged it on my Mac and it automatically did a fsck_exfat disk check which fixed the problem and I could load it on Ubuntu as well. I think a similar thing could be achieved on Ubuntu as well, but I don't know which tools to use to do so.

I'm new to Linux and wondered where I can get useful info so started here. 1st off can I use the same PICTURES, VIDEOS, MUSIC &amp; DOCS already on hard drive. I remember a window appearing during Linux installation saying it would require about 300gb for this, I clicked on OK but don't know how to get to them to appear.  Since this my hard drive has gone down by 300 odd gb?

I had Ubuntu 12.04 Beta installed on my computer. When 12.04 was finally released, I made a bootable USB Flash Drive using Startup Disk Creator.  Then I decided to check if this drive works properly and to reinstall the system on my desktop. I must add, my desktop behaves a bit strange when it comes to bootable USB's, it recognizes them as HDD.  In BIOS I changed priority of boot so USB Flash Drive (recognized as HDD) was first. Successfully booted, I installed Ubuntu. Everything worked fine, but...  Now I cannot boot from my real HDD. Every time I want to boot, I put the USB Flash Drive into my computer, boot, safely remove it and everything works.  What do I need to do to repair boot?

I have a HP Compaq nx6310 notebook wth 4gb memory &amp; a new 250gb hdd. After installing Ubuntu 12.04, i got an "out of disk" error &amp; was unable to boot. I rebooted in live, instaled &amp; ran Boot Repair then rebooted. Grub menu loaded fine, followed by "out of disk.....press any key to continue". I pressed a key &amp; Ubuntu booted, a bit slow but still booted. So here are my questions: 1- Since Ubuntu DOES boot, should I just leave it alone? 2- If I need to fix this, HOW do I do it? 3- What causes this error?  $wolf@lpc-1:~$ df -h Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1       230G  9.1G  209G   5% / udev            1.6G   12K  1.6G   1% /dev tmpfs           655M  868K  654M   1% /run none            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock none            1.6G  260K  1.6G   1% /run/shm wolf@lpc-1:~$

I would like to know if it's possible to install Ubuntu on an exFAT hard drive, since Windows 8's drive admin utility only allow me to get NTFS and exFAT partitions.  Thanks in advance.

I installed Ubuntu 13.04 alongside Windows 8 but when I want to access Windows drives I see this error massage:  Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /media/xalid/3A56A42656A3E0BD: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda1" "/media/xalid/3A56A42656A3E0BD"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option.   As a workaround I tried this:  mkdir /media/sd4 mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/sda1 /media/sd4   This allows me to access the partition, but I am unable to change anything on the drive since it was mounted as read only.   How can I access to my Windows drives whenever I login to Ubuntu?

While installing Ubuntu in VirtualBox, the installer indicated it was going to erase all existing data on the disk. Does this only refer to the area I have allocated during setup or my entire hard drive. It seems obvious but it's quite a mistake to make since I'm not sure. Help.

I had a bad experience on an old Dell computer where shortly after installing Ubuntu on it, the hard drive failed due to excessive loading/unloading cycles. What is the best way to check the health of my hard drive in Ubuntu? Can it be done from the command line?

Thus is a picture of both of my hard-drives:    My C Drive and my D drive. I want to put Ubuntu onto my D Drive. Now my question here is if i do install onto my D Drive then how should I do it in order to retain use of the drive. I intend to partition about 60 gigs from it. Now after doing that I should still have about 830 gigs left. I want to still be able to use that in Windows. So how and will I be able to retain use of the drive after Installing? I have installed once before and I believe i did it wrong because not only could Windows not recognize my D drive but I also lost all the data on it.   My computer is a Lenovo Y700 It is a UEFI (I believe i got that right).
