What is the output (in Linux) of sudo file -s /dev/sdb1? Partition type W95 FAT32 may not correspond to the actual filesystem.

| Nov 10, 2019 at 18:20 | comment | added | point618 | No, each disk has its own enclosure. | |
| Nov 10, 2019 at 18:12 | comment | added | Kamil Maciorowski | Do you use the same USB enclosure when connecting the troublesome HDD to Windows and Linux? | |
