The problem is that the drive is formatted as NTFS, the proprietary filesystem Microsoft uses for Windows. If you don't have any data on the drive, and you don't intend to use it with Windows, then you should reformat it to something Linux-friendly (like ext4 or btrfs).
If you have data on the drive, you may be able to mount it by clearing the "dirty" flag. Only do this if you're confident that the drive was unmounted cleanly the last time you used it (i.e. you didn't have a power outage or unplugged it without safe eject): sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sdb1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2136308 Title: Unable to mount my 'WD Elements' Storage device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2136308/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
