Hello. I'm using debian 12 xfce and decided to upgrade to version 13.
I downloaded the debian-live-13.3.0-amd64-xfce.iso distribution and
installed it.
The hard drive has a volume with an NTFS file system.
After installing debian 13 xfce, when I try to mount a volume, I get
the following error:
"Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/user/F2ADE26A1687EA15:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
missing codepage or helperprogram, or other error".
Are you sure it is the right volume?
What is the exact command do you type?
Can you give us the output from these commands?
# lsblk --fs
# blkid
If it is the right volume, you can get this error message when NTFS
filesystem was flagged as "dirty", for an example after unexpected OS
shutdown.
In this case you should boot up Windows, check filesystem with "chkdsk"
and shutdown properly.
You can use "ntfs-3g" utils to get additional info about the state of
the filesystem:
# ntfsinfo -v -m /dev/sda2
If booting Windows is impossible you could use "ntfsfix" utility to
force clean "dirty" flag, but this is not recommended and could result
in partial data-loss.
You can also get the same message when "fastboot" feature is enabled in
Windows. It is enabled by default, so when you dual-boot two systems you
should disable that feature first.
I think you can also get the same message if Windows was set into
hibernated state prior to shutdown.
