I'm encountering an error when I try to access my HDD through the file explorer on Pop!_OS. The message reads: "Error Mounting /dev/sda4 at /media/(username)/HDD Storage. Unknown error when mounting /dev/sda4." This issue started after I installed WINE (jammy). Before the successful install, I mistakenly tried to install WINE (plucky) and had to remove the source file and repository, which might have caused some issues. I'm not really sure what I messed up in the terminal. Any suggestions would really help! By the way, I also tried posting this earlier, but my screen turned purple, adding to my confusion. My hardware setup includes an old MSI prebuilt machine with an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, AMD Radeon RX 580, a 1 TB SSD, and a 1 TB HDD.

It's good to see you're exploring commands like `lsblk`. If you're having issues with NTFS, maybe consider installing `ntfs-3g`, which might help with mounting that partition correctly. Also, if it's persistent, I'd recommend checking the drive for errors using Windows—sometimes a quick fix happens there.
First off, always include your distro and hardware details when asking for tech help! Now, regarding your drive, can you check what filesystem is on it? It's likely NTFS if it's Windows-based. In that case, I'd recommend using a WINE front end like the Heroic Games Launcher or Bottles.
You mentioned you ran the command `$ lsblk -f`, which is great for diagnosing your drive. You found that sda4 has the NTFS filesystem for your HDD Storage. Since it's NTFS, you might need additional drivers to mount it properly. Sometimes, NTFS drives can cause problems like this in Linux.
