just received my 8TB Hard drive HGST.
The problem is next:
I bought an Sata enclosure so I can use it as USB (3.0)
I've formated it to NTFS and all worked fine, I copied some files inside it, then I Safely ejected the HDD then plugged in again and it couldn't mount, according to GParted, I get this message:
The device /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The cause might be a missing software package.
The following list of software packages is required for ntfs file system support: ntfs-3g / ntfsprogs.
Also, is making strange noises while I'm using
So, in order to make it work, I did this:
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.
So I copied some files inside it and safely ejected it, then I plugged in again and I get this message:
Sorry, could not display all the contents of "50BA159D16ED73B1":
Error when getting information for file '/media/test/50BA159D16ED73B1/parkfun.mp4': Input output error.
But, as you can see here:
/dev/sdb1 7,3T 1,3G 7,3T 1% /media/test/
There really are contents inside the HDD but their don't show up.
I've googled everything that could help me with my problem, but I'm kinda lost and I hope you guys can short this out.
Thank you!
