What can I do to mount and copy data from a disk which was previously
in a WD Mybook Live ?
I had to remove the disk from MyBook Live as the network copy became
extremely slow / saw a brown spot on the Mybook Live pcb when I removed the disk).
The disk is connected to my pc as a USB drive (via a SCYTHE sata->USB "adapter").
Win10 is host OS and Ubuntu 22.04 is guest OS to which I have tried to mount the drive.
The drive is /dev/sdf as can be seen from
sudo lsblk

If I look at GUI files view, I can see the USB disk (marked as 996 GB Volume)
If I try to mount it, I get the error:
"Unable to access "996 GB Volume"
Error mounting /dev/sdf4 at /media/username/number: wrong fs type,bad option,bad superblock
on / dev/sdf4, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
