va flag

I had a situation were I had to move the computer from where it was. I turned off the computer and just disconnected every USB including the Hard Disk. Informations:

  1. My Drive is plugged
  2. I am trying to use my HD back again, off course, without loosing the files I already had.
  3. I have tried to do sudo fsck /dev/sdb and it didn't work, I am now going to try chkdsk In windows.
  4. I discovered that this drive is a NTFS (chkdsk is still loading).
  5. CHKDSK is done, Windows showed this message in the cmd "It showed the text: "Windows verified the system of archives and did not find any problems" (translated from portuguese)."
  6. chkdsk in terminal of ubuntu shows error message inside terminal "chkdsk: command not found ".

Now the Hard Disk is on and it is appearing in the Disks application. When I open the Disks application I only have these options available: "Format Partition..." "create Partition Image..." "Restore Partition Image..." "Benchmark Partition..."

enter image description here

Contents are appearing as unknown! sudo fdisk -l

fsck or chkdsk won't help as Ubuntu didn't recognzize a partition or filesystem on the device /dev/sdb. You should check dmesg-output for errors with the usb device or the usb storage-driver. Maybe the drive doesn't get enough power from the usb-port. Let's first check the output, then see: dmesg|grep sdb dmesg|grep usb

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.
