A while ago the Windows7 main partition on my notebook's 500 GB harddisk got corrupted.Already did data recovery with testdisk v7.2WIP - it reported no issues reading sda2.
Now I tried gpart, and the way it went I ask myself could the harddisk start failing?
Here the gpart output:
# gpart -i /dev/sda2 Begin scan...Possible partition(Windows NT/W2K FS), size(1499mb), offset(4436mb)Accept this guess (y,n) : nPossible partition(Windows NT/W2K FS), size(439256mb), offset(4437mb)Accept this guess (y,n) : y*** Fatal error: dev(/dev/sda2): seek failure.The 2nd guess should have been the correct one, seen as calculated via the 512 bytes / sectors as what fdisk -l reports, the size is spot on.
