You may need to use dd to copy the entire drive to a file at a destination with 
sufficient free space, then try to recover files from that image.

Subject: USB drive errors

 

I have a WD passport USB drive that has been working fine.

Just plugged it in and get input / output errors and it won't mount.

 

Mounted it manually with 

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt

it mounts fine and ls shows this.

 

ls: cannot access 'Locale': Input/output error

I have no idea what Locale is and there seems to be no way to do anything with 
it.

Any suggesting apart from using rsync to copy everything else off the drive and 
formatting it?
