500gb hdd broke itself
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
(mounts in windows, no recognized file system. does not mount in linux, will probably dd to try to save it and then.. idk, keep it around because someday hopefully I can recover it because it should just be corrupted data, and not broke the whole filesystem and headers)

QuoteInput/output error:
/dev/sdbThe drive is damaged (there is a physical defect on it) or a cable is damaged, or the memory is malfunctioning.
Please note that this is a problem with your hardware, not with VeraCrypt. Therefore, please do NOT report this as a bug/problem in VeraCrypt and please do NOT ask for help with this in the VeraCrypt Forums. Please contact your computer vendor's technical support team for assistance. Thank you.
Note: If the error occurs repeatedly at the same place, it is very likely caused by a bad disk block, which should be possible to correct using third-party software (note that, in many cases, the 'chkdsk /r' command cannot correct it because it works only at the filesystem level; in some cases, the 'chkdsk' tool cannot even detect it).
