External expansion drive won't mount after update
My seagate 1TB expansion drive was working fine. After the last update it quit working with all of my Ubuntu machines. I can still mount it with windows
error message:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/
for more details.
I tried hooking it up to the windows machine; did the chkdsk and rebooted SEVERAL times.
I saw that there was an ntfs something or other in the last system updates. I think it might be interfering?
I use this drive a lot and need files on it to be accessible by my Ubuntu machines again
Please help!
ps: sbd1 is not shown in the /dev or /dev/mapper directory
