I have a hdd and I am using it for about 3 months, I always used it in Ubuntu and everything was great until yesterday I put it on a windows laptop, the windows laptop could not read it and now I put it on my Ubuntu and it does not read it either, what happened ?

i used this command in ubuntu:

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1

and this is the result: but it does not worked

$ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
Mounting volume... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
Checking the alternate boot sector... OK
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
NTFS partition /dev/sdb1 was processed successfully.

I want to use it again on my ubuntu, and sometimes in windows

    Boot with a bootable USB Key and see if the drive is working. It may have failed.

  • Try reading the drive from an external boot just to see. External drives are only a tad more reliable than USB keys so it has more than likely failed.
