After putting my notebook to sleep while it was on a low battery state I pluged my cable in and turned it on again. Then I got error messages about writing data to swap, ssd superblock and I/O errors on my intel ssd.

I've already found a way to erase the SSD and make it work again (Image or reset broken SSD). But I need to find a way to backup or view my data. The data on my ssd is really important for me (bachelor thesis). Plz help me guys any ideas are welcome.

Here are some information I got using a livecd:

fdisk -l

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 8 MB, 8388608 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1 cylinders, total 16384 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table

hdparm -I /dev/sda

hdparm -I /dev/sda

/dev/sda:

You're probably out of luck; that bug is horrid. However, give gpart Install gpart a go. Good luck!

  • no luck with gpart and testdisk. I'll give up. Thanks for your support!
