When I try to open my hard drive it gives this error message:

unable to access location

error mounting/dev/sdb2 at/media/user/b03c28983c285ba: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on/ dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program or other error

3 other hard drives get this same error message.

I got this by using the recommended command:

$ lsblk -f

  • Unlike other forums in stack exchange you should edit the original question to include extra info rather than post again. So the output of lsblk would be better in the original question. See initial answer below. – shift May 12 '22 at 06:22

The output of lsblk -l suggests that sdb2 is an ntfs partition.

Firstly check ntfs-3g is installed: apt search ntfs-3g

ntfs-3g/jammy,now 1:2021.8.22-3ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic] read/write NTFS driver for FUSE

Then try this:

mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /mnt/

Assuming /mnt is empty or pick another empty directory
