ubuntu - where's the other hard disks?

[Lex]

I have installed ubuntu and i cannot 'see' my other hard disks that are within my computer. What could be the reason for this and yes they are phsyically connected. i have an 80gig hard disk split into 2 with windows on 40 and linux on the other 40. Then i have 2 other 80gig hard disks with data and music on which i cannot see. Same goes for when i boot up into windows.

Any ideas chaps?

Check in 'mount' to see where they are mounted. If they are not then your going to need to do that. 'man mount'

 

[daven1986]

did you mount them in the installation? or did you choose "do not use this drive"? if you chose not to use them, this is why you can't see them however I don't know how to fix it!

how do i check in 'mount?'

how do i check in 'mount?'

Just type "mount" at a terminal and post the output, should be something like:

login as: marc
[email][email protected][/email]'s password:
[marc@mail ~]$ mount
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /home type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
//deepthought/d on /mnt/audio_on_d type smbfs (0)
//DEEPTHOUGHT/C$ on /tmp/xffm.QAVOul type smbfs (0)
[marc@mail ~]$

That way we should be able to see what's showing up

proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)

---------------------

there you go thats what happens when i type 'mount' in the terminal

Yeah means you got only one partition mounted (/dev/hda2). The other partitions should show up in 'dmesg' (I.e dmesg | grep hd). Read the manual on how to mount them or do it in whatever gui you use.

so you think its a physical problem? One of the hard disks is a sata hard disk so maybe their are problems there.
