[Bug 283350] Re: mounting ntfs partition system hangs :(

[Phillip Susi]

It looks like the drive was failing.  If you still have this system,
please check its SMART status in the disk utility.

Title:
  mounting ntfs partition system hangs :(

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  This is in intrepid. I have a 160 GB NTFS HDD. It has some issues, but
  if I try to mount it or even use fdisk -l to see the contents it
  hangs.

  Btw this is how the hard disk is laid out

  Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
  255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
  Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
  Disk identifier: 0x48254824

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/sdb1   *           1        1912    15358108+   7  HPFS/NTFS
  /dev/sdb2            1913       19457   140930212+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
  /dev/sdb5            1913        6083    33503526    7  HPFS/NTFS
  /dev/sdb6            6084       10254    33503526    7  HPFS/NTFS
  /dev/sdb7           10255       14425    33503526    7  HPFS/NTFS
  /dev/sdb8           14426       18596    33503526    7  HPFS/NTFS
  /dev/sdb9           18597       19457     6915951    7  HPFS/NTFS

  This info. was got by doing fdisk -l /dev/sdb if I give only fdisk -l
  it hangs the system. Please lemme know if I can help in any way (any
  more information needed)

  The bootloader is corrupted of the hard disk.
