I managed to solve it by mounting the drive manually in /mnt, read only thoug so that's another thing I have to figure out how to solve now but I can access drive's contents and that's fine for now :)
For read/write access you can try to mount it manually with the ntfs-3g command. Of course, you should unmouint it first before trying this:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ntfs
sudo ntfs-3g -o recover /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
Here is a reasonable set of options:
recover,rw,umask=000,dmask=002,fmask=113,uid=1000,gid=1000
so the command becomes:
Code: Select all
sudo ntfs-3g -o recover,rw,umask=000,dmask=002,fmask=113,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
I'm assuming the ntfs partition is on /dev/sdb1. There is nothing special in the name "mnt/ntfs" you can choose any name for that directory.
You may get the same error message you got before. You can look at "dmesg | tail" for clues. If you do a web search for the original error message you will find several different solutions. My guess is the ntfs partition may not have been unmounted cleanly so ntfs-3g refuses to mount it. The "recover" option may take care of that.
Also, once you get it to mount with "recover" then your original way of mounting it may start to work again. So I suggest you try to mount it with just the "recover" option and unmount it and try to mount it normally.
