I have a HDD external and I am using it for about 3 months, I always used it in Ubuntu 20.04 and everything was great until yesterday I put it on a windows laptop, the windows laptop could not read it and now I put it on my Ubuntu and it does not read it either, what happened ?
I used this command in Ubuntu:
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
And this is the result, but it does not work.
$ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
Mounting volume... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
Checking the alternate boot sector... OK
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
NTFS partition /dev/sdb1 was processed successfully.
I want to use it again on my Ubuntu, and sometimes in Windows.
