I want to connect to ext hard disk and I m worried if I did some things and the data is lost.
When I do lsblk
I get the following output:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
└─sda2 8:2 0 931G 0 part /
sdb 8:16 0 465.8G 0 disk
Here sda is my internal hard disk and sdb is my external hard disk. Ideally, it should have been
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
└─sda2 8:2 0 931G 0 part /
sdb 8:16 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─sbd1 8:1 0 90G 0 part
└─sbd2 8:2 0 431G 0 part
But this is show as disk not as partition. Because of this, I am not unable to read any data in this. Here are the few things I tried:
- Connected to windows machiene, it gets connected but won't show on
This PC
- Did ntfsfix, doesn't work. Shows
NTFS signature is missing
I do not know what else to do. Can someone experienced please guide me?
/var/log/kernlog
for messages related to sdb, it will show what was recognized by system. But it looks like something went wrong before
