Hi all, and thank you in advance for your help !
So, here's what happened : I recently installed Linux Mint on my computer (total newbie here, I'm afraid...) and so far, everything was running smoothly. But earlier today, my computer froze, so I rebooted it using the power button. When I turned it back on, one of the partitions (sda1) was no longer accessible. The df -h command does not list it, as though it had never existed, which would seem to indicate a hardware issue.
However, when I run lsblk, the sda1 partition in question gets listed, probably meaning that the hard drive works correctly, though I cannot access it using the GUI's file browser or the df -h command line.
So, my questions are : how do I check if the data that was on this partition still exist ? And, if it's still there, how do I retrieve access to it ?
Many thanks for taking the time to read this
