How do I repair a Fat 32 Filesystem Partition "input/output error"

  • 772

Some how the partition (Dev/sda2) partition got deleted. So I use TestDisk to bring it back... The first time I did it it erase the whole hard drive... The second time it did restore the partition which is good. But now it is giving me a error massage when I try to open it in Files(Gnome).

  1. Try running 

    sudo dosfsck -r

    a few times and see if that fixes things. Good luck.

  2. I had this problem about an hour ago, and I was searching to find an answer, then i found this forum. I just fixed my usb, and here is what I did:

    sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXY

    (Note: This FORMATS ALL DATA on your partition and fixes the problem.)

    (Note: First unmount your device)

    Now my usb is working as well.

  3. Repair the file system

    It seems your file system is corrupted.
    You can attempt to fix it by executing this command in your Terminal:

    sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2

    Replace /dev/sda2 with the appropriate partition you want to fix.
