But when I attach the drive, I can hear it spinning (sounds normal to me), so I'm a bit baffled! I'm starting to wonder if it is perhaps a hardware issue. I've attached some pictures of the terminal output from the ntfsfix command and the error messages on Ubuntu.Īfter trying the terminal commands I tried the Hirens USB and Windows Installation Media USB again, with both returning the same results as before.Įrror message when trying to access the drive in Ubuntu Sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdb4 /mnt, and it returned the same error message attached at the bottom of this post. It returned an error saying:Ĭan't find /dev/sdb4 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab I tried the terminal commands on Ubuntu - ntfsfix seemed to do something, but the drive still couldn't be mounted with the mount command. I tried Hirens first, When I selected to boot off the USB with Hirens, the computer got stuck on the Acer loading screen with the spinning dots loading animation, so I couldn't make it to the command prompt. Unfortunately the drive still can't be read. OK so just finished trying both fixes dmccoy.
