I'm new to Linux (just over 1 month) and I’ve encountered a problem with my drive.

I have the main drive (SSD) and a secondary drive (HDD).

The HDD was working fine, but now I’m getting this error message:

An error occurred while accessing 'New Volume', the system responded:
The requested operation has failed: 
Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /run/media/spicypenguin/New Volume: 
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

And now my HDD is not accessible.

I’ve tried rebooting, upgrading the system, etc., but none of these solutions worked.

I’m using CachyOS:latest (Arch-based).

  • Was the secondary drive Windows? Formatted NTFS? As ReflectYourCharacter asked, it seems like it is external, is it? Can you plug it in and do a "dmesg" in a terminal and see if it still appears as /dev/sda? If it does, what does "fdisk -l /dev/sda" show you? Commented May 15 at 15:32

[SOLVED]

The solution that i tried:

  • Install Ventoy into USB
  • Add Win11 ISO to the usb
  • BOOT into the Usb(Win11) and select the HDD drive as the windows installation drive
  • Profit

After this the windows 11 setup process seems to fix the drive, after i booted again into my Linux and mounted the drive everything was normal again

Thanks for everybody who commented to help
