Mageia forum

Hi,
Since today, i can't access any folders and files that are created under Windows in Mageia!
I can't see them in Dolphin, however, they can be listed in konsole with "ls" or "dir" command. But if i want to enter that folder, i get this message:

Code: Select all

Input/output error

It's not an issue with my HDD, as i went back to windows and see they're accessible.

PS: Before this issue, i found out that the Mageia doesn't show contents of any DVD any more, i don't know whether these two errors have something in common or not.

Regards

Hi,

There are many answers for such a problem, and the cause of this issue would be (most of the time) disk problems.
However, as you mentioned that your HDD is working just fine, and also as i'd like to start with simple solutions ( ), would you please first restart your system?
Many times, there are some unexpected and temporary system behaviors which can be fixed only by refreshing.
So, do not log out/log in, just restart.

PS: I know it might seem a solution for Windows Machines, but some times it's really worth a try, specially for ones who always hibernate their systems.

Take care

That can be caused by a cold reboot/unproper poweroff Windows. If it is so, then you should boot into Windows and properly shut it down before rebooting into Mageia.

You could try to run ntfsfix -d on that partition to force the filesystem to be checked on next windows boot. Or simply run chkdsk on that drive in windows, then try again.

Thank you all my friends,
I'm so embarrassed not knowing what to do in such a situation,
and this problem got solved by rebooting 2~3 times,
Thanks fereydouni, tarakbumba and the great doktor5000,
I believe that is a problem with cold reboot as tarakbumba mentioned, and a high level solution for this issue is ntfsfix -d on the partition as doktor5000 said, and a working solution for me, a novice who knows very little about linux, is just to reboot the system and refresh it as fereydouni told.
I'm really thankful for your time and effort

Kind regards
