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?

    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

            What do you mean by that?
