How can I access this without formatting it.

Also, if you’re dual booting, Disable Fast Start in Windows! That’ll prevent drives from being mounted on Linux since Windows never technically “shutsdown” when Fast Boot is enabled.

sda-debug.sh - Make the script executable:
chmod +x sda-debug.sh - Run it as root:
sudo ./sda-debug.sh - Paste the content of
/tmp/sda-debug.loghere
EDIT: changed the script to log everything to a file for easier copy-past-ability.
This script will unmount the problematic drive and try to mount it to another place
/tmp/myprecious, a temporary place. Then, as it says, will attempt to read and then write to the drive. Finally, it removes the file it wrote to test writeability, unmounts the drive again and removes the temporary mount place. The scripts needs root access to mount and unmount and possibly to write and read.Please don’t run a script you found on the internet with root access without knowing what it does.
This is some very good advice, OP!
I would remove the formatting of the script. For me that would never run as a bash script as it’s filled with markup. Not sure if it shows up nicely for you or not so figured I’d let.you know it may not be displaying for others at least.
If you follow the link to the original post, it displays correctly. For some reason, Lemmy sends HTML for code blocks. kbin rightly escapes it on their end for security.
