Can't access drive on linux/windows dual boot - Lemmy
lemmy.ml
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.

    Just to make it clear for anyone coming in now, the problem was solved! Thanks everyone for all the help.

    It was really simple in the end, all i did was shift+shutdown on windows and it worked.
