Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: 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.
A bit more info would help :-\
What are you trying to mount … a USB stick ? … a CDROM ? … an external hard drive ?
If a USB stick or external hard drive, have you done as prompted and used chkdisk in Windows to check the drive for file system errors ?
Im using peppermint os on a usb stick and my hard drive(which has the error) has a corrupted form of windows that wont boot up.

this is all that i have tried in command terminal so far
i really dont care about the hard drive all i need is to access the files on it. I had no problem with that last time i booted peppermint. I really need help!
Whoa!!! … best to not guess at these things ;), if you’d have put an input file in either of those “dd” commands, you’d have wiped out the sda2 partition :o
What’s the output from:
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt
if nothing is returned, run:
nemo /mnt
dida file manager window open showing your Windows files ?
this is what came back

Have you not got a Windows disk ? … this should really be fixed from chkdsk -f
nope sadly
Have you access to another PC ?
and which version of Windows are we talking about ?
yes i do and windows 7
Do you know if it was 32bit or 64bit Win7 ?
You can download original Win7 DVD’s (via torrent) from this digitalriver mirror
http://mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/
not sure is there a way to check
See the license sticker image below … where it says x14-12690
What does yours say there ?
I replaced my drive along time ago and got another form of windows
can i see it through terminal or bios. sorry man im so bad at this and sorry for such a difficult problem.
