Hi,
There was some problem with our system so I re-installed the server with CentOS 7. Now, when I am trying to run 'fdisk -l' command, it is returning a broken output.
It throws this error- "fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdc: Input/output error".
There are valid /dev/sdd and /dev/sde devices which are mounted and they are accessible but, somehow /dev/sdc is having a problem and 'fdisk -l' is not returning the full output.
Below is an output of fdisk -l for reference. Any suggestion on how to fix this would be very helpful.

Sounds like a bad drive. I would start by looking for errors in /var/log/messages and dmesg.
You could check the connection cable if anyone has had the machine open.
