Hello everyone,

I've run in to a strange problem. I've been using an external drive for a while, between many systems that I've taken data from. It is a Seagate model SRD00F1. I've mounted it without problem on my previous install of Trisquel, mounted it on Mint. I had a computer specialist/repair person move some data from another drive to this Seagate, unsure of how he did so. I know I have run it on Mint since then. I recently re-installed Trisquel 8.0, and now I am unable to mount it. I get this message upon plugging it in:

Unable to mount walkfarluv

Error mounting /dev/sdb2 at /media/jais/walkfarluv: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb2" "/media/jais/walkfarluv"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

I value the data on this drive, so I am wondering how I should go about doing the data retrieval. I have access to a computer with Windows on it.
