Your HDD is dead.

You'll need to boot from a DVD or USB drive and try fsck on the device. For example:

Code: Select all

sudo fsck /dev/sdb1
Where sdb1 is the main partition on your dying drive.

Or...

Code: Select all

sudo fsck /dev/sdb
While you're there, you might want to backup your treasured stuff.

You could also open the Disks program from the live boot USB/DVD and run a SMART check on the hard drive.

If you still can't fix it, post the output of this command and enclose it between code marks:

Code: Select all

sudo lsblk -o model,name,size,fstype,label,mountpoint

First of all you should tell about your PC.

What hardware? Then, if important data is on that machine, I would try to boot a live CD and try to copy data from that machine to an external hdd.

Why? The images he posted links to are quite clear about what the issue is.

It does not hurt either. In my opinion, it could be important to know, what machine we are talking here about.

With a dying HDD and Linux Mint, partitions info is all that should be needed.
