NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's 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 the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.(windows) chdsk /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.

Re: Can't mount external hard drive
You need to mount /dev/sdb1 not /dev/sdb.

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

Re: Can't mount external hard drive
bitbang, since you are using ArchBang, you are better off asking on their forums. They may or may not have changed things that could be different than in Arch.
Also, we do not support any distro other than Arch as indicated in our forum etiquette.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
