I have two drives, an ssd with windows and ubuntu installed in dual boot, and an hdd with some personal files.
I used to be able to access my hdd from both OSs just fine, but now all of a sudden i can’t mount my it on ubuntu.
I can open the hdd just fine while on windows but on ubuntu i get the following error:
Unable fo access location: Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/MyName/MyDrive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
Real helpful error message i gotta say, “It could be either of these 5 things, or something else, idk”, lol.
Anyway, what can i do about this? I’d like to be able to access my hdd from ubuntu again.
For those wondering, the problem was that windows didn’t fully unmount the drive. To fix this you need to fully shutdown windows with the command line or the shift key.
Try Shift + Shutdown in Windows, then boot in Linux, see if the problem is solved.
