Run the suggested statement, and now works, I can access the drive. –raphie Dec 24 '15 at 8:13 If I can vote this a 100 times I would.. thanks.. this worked –Siddharth Aug 25 at 16:14 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote It might be the case that the naming changes when you try the drive on different things. ( sdb becomes sdX because of how the usbs are enumerated) Open a terminal and play with: lsblk blkid If you are still unsure, then try dmesg | more and read the system log, at one point you should see something similar to: 150289.144120] scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access WDC WD32 00BEKT-22KA9T0 01.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [150289.144951] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 [150289.145185] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] 625142448 512-byte logical blocks: (320 GB/298 GiB) [150289.145854] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off [150289.145863] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 [150289.146547] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] No Caching mode page found [150289.146555] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] Assum
various Linux kernels and distributions. Typing that string into your search engine of choice will yield a lot of results and possible solutions. The
Sudo Ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
first recommendation was to check to make sure the usb-storage and uhci modules are error mounting /dev/sda4 at /media/ loaded (# lsmod); and they were in my case. I even unloaded them and reloaded them (# modprobe -r module_name,
/dev/sdb1 Is Not A Block Device
# modprobe module_name) and still got the error. The next most common recommendation that I saw was this:# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdevnameThat didn't work for me this time. However, I did find a http://askubuntu.com/questions/586308/error-mounting-dev-sdb1-at-media-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts suggestion that did work. Plug in the device and then type:# fdisk -l(That's a lowercase "L") Now this isn't going to erase your hard drive or the data on your device. It will, however, tell you what disk partitions you have on your system, whether they are mounted or not.So, if you get the "/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device" error, plug the device in and type "fdisk http://www.brianwsnyder.com/blog/2006/10/devsda1-is-not-valid-block-device.html -l." Then you should see something similar to this, along with information about your hard drive partitions, which I did not copy here:Disk /dev/sdb: 1027 MB, 1027604480 bytes16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 3920 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytesDevice Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/sdb1 * 1 3920 1003504 e W95 FAT16 (LBA)Then all you do, based on this example, is edit /etc/fstab and change /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1 and keep the options the same across the rest of that line. Then just mount like normally would:# mount /mnt/usbdeviceThat did the trick for me. But, try this at your own risk as I can't offer any guarantees! posted by bwsnyder @ 10:19 1 comments 1 Comments: At 12:05, Grzegorz said...
