Eric-Hoffmann

I am trying to mount a windows hard drive under Ubuntu. Know my Problem is that if I'm trying to mount it with different commands I always get the massage that the partition is not found.

sudo mount -t vfat -o ro /dev/sdb1 /media/WIN

mount: /media/ric/WIN_PART: Spezialgerät /dev/sdb1 not found.

other try

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/WIN

ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1': File or directory not found

ntfs-3g 2017.3.23AR.3 integrated FUSE 28 - Third Generation NTFS Driver
        Configuration type 7, XATTRS are on, POSIX ACLS are on

Usage:    ntfs-3g [-o option[,...]] <device|image_file> <mount_point>

Options:  ro (read-only mount), windows_names, uid=, gid=,
          umask=, fmask=, dmask=, streams_interface=.
          Please see the details in the manual (type: man ntfs-3g).

Example: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

I only find the partition with sudo fdisk -l

Festplatte /dev/sdb: 1,82 TiB, 2000398934016 Bytes, 3907029168 Sektoren
Festplattenmodell: 001-1CM164

Festplattenbezeichnungstyp: dos
Festplattenbezeichner: 0xe6ba03e5

Gerät      Boot Anfang       Ende   Sektoren Größe Kn Typ
/dev/sdb1            1 4294967295 4294967295    2T ee GPT

With lsblk I only find the disk

sdb           8:16   0   1,8T  0 disk

Other information that could by interesting. To note is that the hard drive is from a raid system. And I am using the hard drive where I can find the partition (on the other one I can only find the disk). Also to note is that if I am trying to boot from the hard drive I am getting the problem “Your PC Ran into a Problem and Needs to Restart” loop, so I’m trying to save my data before I reset my pc.

1)Ubuntu 21.10

2)Lenovo_Raid, RAID0 (Stripe), 3.6TB

3)I have both

sudo fsck /dev/sdb1

fsck von util-linux 2.36.1
e2fsck 1.46.3 (27-Jul-2021)
File or directory not found when trying to open /dev/sdb1
Could the device not be there?

If this is one part of a RAID set, that radically changes the amount of work that needs to go into offering a solution. That bit really should be near the start of the question, not the end. That said, additional details will be needed. Could you [edit] your question to include: (0) the version of Ubuntu you’re using (1) the type of RAID the disk is from (0/1/5/JBOD/etc.) (2) whether you have the other disks for the RAID set or not. With these details, it *might* be possible to offer solutions

Have you tried running fsck against /dev/sdb1? sudo fsck /dev/sdb1 This should give a little extra info why it can't be mounted

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
