Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance
I bought a new laptop and after moving the home folder successfully I wanted to delete all the partitions from my old one, overwrite everything with bleach and the make a new clean install of ubuntu to my old laptop and give it to a friend.
During installation I chose the following configuration 1 GB Boot 245 GB / 245 GB empty 4 GB SWAP
The installation said that the second partition couldn't be formatted because of some error. I then connected the hard externally to my new laptop and run GParted which also couldn't format it.
After some research I run the command
dumpe2fs /dev/sde1 | grep -i superblock
and the reply was something like: Backup superblock at:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000, 7962624, 11239424, 20480000, 23887872, 71663616, 78675968, 102400000.
Then I run the command
e2fsck -f -b -y 32768 /dev/sde1
After 2 days straight the command is still running and I don't know what to do, please advise
Is there any faster way to do it? The hard disk is "empty" 500GB and prior to this I had no problems at all, I was even thinking of using my old HD to my new laptop because I was bored reinstalling ubuntu.
I do not even care about the data it contains
Right now the output is:
Error reading block 20976926 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error? yes
Force rewrite? yes
