secondary harddrives missing on 8.10

[nesta]

Hi folks:

I've searched the web for 3 days now, but can't find answer to how to locate my harddrives with music on them. I used to see them via Dolphin before upgrading to 8.10, when I used 8.04. Now I can't find them anywhere on Dolphin. They were set to automount before the upgrade, and worked.

Please help.

Thanks!

Re: secondary harddrives missing on 8.10

Are the drives external, connected via USB, and are they 'Windows' formatted?

The drives are internal, and are 'Windows' formatted. Thanks....One is SATA, and the other IDE.

And I must say that the external 80GB harddrive that I forgot to mention does show up.

Re: secondary harddrives missing on 8.10

So you have a desktop PC, yes? And you have three internal HDs, one that has Kubuntu installed (it boots), two that are "Windows" formats (Win XP or higher?), one being an IDE HD and the other a SATA HD, and one external USB HD that does show up in Kubuntu (is it a Linux formatted HD?). Is this all correct?

And because it will be helpful, is the boot HD an IDE drive?

Yes, to all your questions. It boots from a SATA harddrive. The external USB is formatted in Windows.

Could you post your /etc/fstab please? Also the output of

mount -l

Thanks.

Here is the output of mount -l

I can navigate to /etc. When I cd into fstab, I get:
bash: cd: /fstab: No such file or directory

Thanks a lot!

Yep, you cannot cd into fstab because it is a file Do a

cat /etc/fstab

and post the output.

Thanks so much. I've since used kate to open fstab and here is the output:

Re: secondary harddrives missing on 8.10

Okay, the fstab lists those file systems to be mounted during boot. sda5 is your /, sda6 your swap and that is it really.

Could you post the output of

sudo blkid -L

This will list all available partitions seen by your system as is! Please tell us which you want mounted on boot.

Thanks a lot again, and sorry for this relative late response. I'd like all the HDS mounted at bootup. I can't find the one that shows that it was mounted in Dolphin presently.

Thanks a lot!

Re: secondary harddrives missing on 8.10

Somebody with a dual boot here come to the rescue please. Does 8.10 support ntfs out of the box? Can you supply a sample stanza for an nfts partition from your fstab?
