How do I repair a Fat 32 Filesystem Partition "input/output error"

Question

Some how the partition (Dev/sda2) partition got deleted. So I use TestDisk to bring it back... The first time I did it it erase the whole hard drive... The second time it did restore the partition which is good. But now it is giving me a error massage when I try to open it in Files(Gnome).

enter image description here

IF you need it in text here: Error when getting information for file '/media/ubuntu-gnome/Backup/User': Input/output error

Try running

sudo dosfsck -r

a few times and see if that fixes things. Good luck.

I had this problem about an hour ago, and I was searching to find an answer, then i found this forum. I just fixed my usb, and here is what I did:

sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXY

(Note: This FORMATS ALL DATA on your partition and fixes the problem.)

(Note: First unmount your device)

Now my usb is working as well.

Repair the file system

It seems your file system is corrupted.
You can attempt to fix it by executing this command in your Terminal:

sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2

Replace /dev/sda2 with the appropriate partition you want to fix.
