I was playing a game, alt-tabbing froze my system so I waited a bit and then rebooted by using the button on the case, since I couldn't do differently.

It now throws an error when mounting a drive: error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/user/local disk 1: unknown error when mounting (udisks-error-quark, 0)

This drive doesn't have anything I was using on it, since it's a media storage drive. I booted up Windows on my second drive and it can see and access this one without problems. How to fix?

    It worked, thanks a lot! What would be the Linux alternative to do that?

      There is none. NTFS is a filesystem you should only use if you need Windows compatibility anyways. Eventhough Linux natively supports it these days, it's still primarily a windows filesystem.

        Oh, I see. So you're saying that, when I have the chance, I should move to a different filesysten and that would avoid me issues as the one in the OP?

            Yes, I've basically moved permanently over to Linux and do 99.9% of the things on it. Had to boot Windows for the first time in days only to check whether or not my HDD died after I couldn't mount it

            I'm still in the process of optimizing stuff around Linux (e.g. media drive filesystem) but I'll get there haha

              I’m still in the process of optimizing stuff around Linux (e.g. media drive filesystem)

              What do you mean by that?
