hmmmm. Not sure why that would happen. I might have to put in an email to my contact there and see what’s up.

I guess it should be able to read from windows seeing as it us a JPG and not some exotic open source file:!) I guess it just got corrupted. The question still remains, is there a way to recover the files on the drive? I hope so, There were pictures on that drive. My entire south carolina trip! >> >> The directions that were given were to run: >> >> chkdsk /f >> >> on the drive. Have two problems with those directions though: 1. that requires admin privileges and I don't know how to do that. 2. when I stick the drive in it gives me the insert drive tone and then the disconnect drive tone and never assigns a drive letter to it. Then it repeats that until I pull the drive. And if I've kept the drive in there long enough it keeps doing that after I've pulled the drive. 3. >> >> On Mon, Jun 10, 2024 at 11:17 PM Arun Khan via PLUG-discuss > wrote: >> >> >> On Mon, Jun 10, 2024 at 5:44 PM Michael via PLUG-discuss > wrote: >> >> (it didn't reply all and only got sent to one person) >> >> 8< ---- stuff snipped --- >8 >> >> Based on the output you have shared, it appears the disk has an NTFS filesystem which is probably corrupted. >> Since you are running Windows as your desktop, why are you trying to repair it from WSL Linux? >> Isn't your Windows File Manager showing it as a drive unless I am missing something? >> >> -- >> Arun Khan >> --------------------------------------------------- >> PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org >> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: >> https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >> >> >> -- >> :-)~MIKE~(-: >> --------------------------------------------------- >> PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org >> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: >> https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > > > -- > :-)~MIKE~(-: > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
