My system was working fine, but suddenly it stopped working. I tried to troubleshoot, but I could not understand the problem. I am using WSL (ubuntu).

WHEN I AM USING cd /mnt/d the system gets stuck

I am sorry this for this, I have tried whatever internet suggested, please help me

what does "gets stuck" mean? freezes up? shows an error? just keeps loading? crashes? describe what happens please.

/mnt/d is your windows D drive, which is automatically mounted for you as /mnt/d by Microsoft's windows interoperability modifications. you don't have to mount anything. If it's crashing, that's either a problem with the interop stuff, or with your drive itself.

can you access your `D:\ ` drive in Windows? can you do `ls /mnt` and show that? The rest of what you posted is irrelevant, since the drive is being exposed to you by Windows, and isn't something you have to deal with on your own.

1. It just freezes up. I uninstalled the ubuntu app and installed it again after this issue, the same problem still persists. 2. Yes I never mounted it before, but as I am facing the problem I tried mounting it. (I don't understand what could be the issue with the drive) 3. I can not access it in wsl. after uninstalling, I can't even start ubuntu from windows terminal PS C:\Users\ianke> ubuntu ubuntu:CommandNotFoundException PS C:\Users\ianke> wsl [it is stuk at this command for a long time]

when i started the ubuntu Run as admistrator: This is the message that i got An error occurred mounting one of your file systems. Please run 'dmesg' for more details. To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details. ls /mnt c d wsl wslg When accessed d or c drive it showed nothing. Then I tried it in WSL (inbuilt) it is working.

I deleted the old Ubuntu and installed a new one. It is working fine so far. Thank you so much for these comments.

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.
