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.

    Yes, that’s the first thing i tried.

    Edit: I guess i didn’t, since shift+shutdown worked. Or at least i did, but windows said: “I’m going to ignore that”
