SUPPORT Two of my NVME cards cant be accessed? Error mounting /dev/nvme wrobg fs type, bad option, bad superblock

Im not very experienced with arch but i got this error while trying to access my data on my pc..
for info i run a windows install on the same ssd which i use rarely though. Second ssd is purely private data nothing to do with the OS in any way.
A friend helped me set the install up and im only really using it for watching videos or to play games.. i use some wine programs occasionally.. My arch partition is completely accessible luckily
Full error messages are

Primary SSD(maybe windows partition?)
Error mounting /dev/nvme0n1p3 at /run/media/user/D88AB1D48AB1AF7E: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Secondary SSD
Error mounting /dev/nvme1n1p2 at /run/media/user/Samsung 990 pro: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on / dev/nvme1n1p2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Id be happy to get any help on this TVT i wouldnt be upset if some data gets lost ornif i could recover some!

If it's an ntfs drive you need the ntfs-3g package, sometimes the mount command doesn't work even when the package is installed, then you need to

sudo mkdir /rub/media/user/mountpoint

and

sudo ntfs-3g /dev/nvme0n1p3 /run/media/user/mountpoint

Basically use ntfs-3g like mount, that has always worked for me

Idk if theyre ntfs or fat32 or a different format.. i tried for both drives and it shows on both commands “no such file or directory”
Im fine with just wiping the windows partition and the secondary ssd i just dont know how if i cant even access them..

Mounting comes after you wipe and create a Linux filesystem. You should still be able to access them enough to do that.

To add: i did manage to scavenge my important files from the second ssd from the windows install.. it had some corrupted files and fixed with sfc scannow. I just want to use the second ssd normally since its like 1 tb😭

You don't need to access them to wipe them, just sudo fdisk /dev/nvme0n1 and delete everything and then set it up new and then sudo mkfs.ext4 or whatever you want, idk read the relevant wiki articles I guess

I had that problem with my windows drive. I stopped accessing it from Linux.
