Virtual machine is not reading the virtual hard drive

[felipeam86]

As Sasquatch proposed that the partition table may be messed up, I tried SystemRescueCD to see what I could get because I saw that it has a partition table backup and restore utility (Sfdisk). This is what I got:

Code: Select all

 root@sysresccd /root % sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 1305 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
read: Input/output error.

sfdisk: read error on /dev/sda - cannot read sector 0
 /dev/sda: unrecognized partition table type
No partition found

Disk /dev/sdb: 1305 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start        End   #cyls       #blocks      Id   System
/dev/sdb1           0+     1304    1305-     10482381       7   HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb2           0         -       0            0        0   Empty
/dev/sdb3           0         -       0            0        0   Empty
/dev/sdb4           0         -       0            0        0   Empty

I stopped there because I don't know what else to do.

Thank you all for all the help that I've got and I hope you can continue to help me.

Well, that's one messed up drive you got there. I can't help you any further, as I have no experience with this.
