Cannot mount HDD topic






Dear All,

Variant of this problem may be common but I couldn't solve it.

I have a 1 TB Silicon Power External hdd. It is formatted with gparted, using ext4 and gpt.

Everything was working fine till today. I unmounted it with

sudo umount /media/directory

Since then, I cannot mount it by any means.

Here I post the outputs of commands I tried.


Code:


sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.



Code:


sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb /media/peptid/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
      missing codepage or helper program, or other error
      In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
      dmesg | tail  or so



HTML Code:


/usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sdb
Mount failed: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
      missing codepage or helper program, or other error


I opened gparted, and it says 'filesystem is unknown'


Code:


/usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sdb --mount-fstype ext4
Mount failed: Not a mountable file system


I have very important data in it, so I have to save.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
