Can't mount one of my internal SSD's NTFS partition

General system Newbie

I am dual-booting EOS with Windows. I have two SSDs, each with an NTFS partition. I am able to mount the NTFS partition that is on a different SSD, but not able to mount the NTFS partition that is on the same SSD as the ext4 partiton of my EndeavourOS.

I got the following message when mounting it from KDE’s Dolphin file manager:

An error occurred while accessing 'Data', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/nvme0n1p1 at /run/media/beforesunset/Data: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

[beforesunset@victus-eos ~]$ lsblk -l

nvme1n1p4 259:9    0   775M  0 part

I also tried Check and Repair partition option from KDE Partition Manager but that didn’t solve anything. I assume it does fsck on the partition.

Is this a laptop with an extra internal drive you are using for files?

Edit: Sorry i got confused reading it over quickly. :laughing:

It’s a laptop with 2 SSDs. One has Windows’ C partition, the other SSD has another partition with my files

You probably have to add it to the fstab? :thinking: I’ll let someone with more knowledge advise you as i don’t want to give you inaccurate information.

ntfsfix which is part of ntfs-3g fixed for me.:

sudo ntfsfix -b -d /dev/nvme0n1p1

More information from the --help flag

-b, --clear-bad-sectors Clear the bad sector list
-d, --clear-dirty Clear the volume dirty flag

Yes… i forgot about that one being used frequently. :wink:

If you are sharing those NTFS partitions with Windows, make sure that you have Fast Startup and hibernation disabled in Windows.

I have the same problem with an external drive I use for the headunit in my truck which is formatted ntfs. ntfsfix worked once in eos, but now it doesnt. I get error saying something about a bad superblock, or wrong file system. Interesting thing is I can plug it into my laptop which has pop os, and it has no problems with it.

I had turned off Fast Startup off before installation.

Maybe try chkdsk from Windows side once.

Thanks but I d rather catch a cold than use Windows again :face_vomiting:
