When I inserted my 8 GB Sandisk Cruzer USB drive, I got an error message that the drive failed to mount. I poked around a little on the forums to find the terminal commands to try mounting it. Here's the output of those commands.
globalnet@globalnet-desktop1:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/usb
globalnet@globalnet-desktop1:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults, or you have a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows TWICE. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If you have SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first you must activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for the details.
I've certainly not tried to implement any RAID-like things on the drive. I have reformatted the drive since I bought it--it's one big NTFS partition. The drive works fine in Windows. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Thanks.
