How to mount a hard drive in Linux Mint

[GrayTech]

Hello

On my journey in the world of Linux I have detected another problem. I installed Linux on a 250GB SSD and added a 1TB HDD. But I can't mound the HDD. What do I have to do in order to use my HDD?

Thanks for your help!

ls /dev

mount (partition listed in /dev, something like sdb1) (mount directory)

you should be able to see it in either gnome-disk-utility or gparted and mount the partition (or create a new partition if its not initialized)

Tried it, it is listed as sdb but I can't mount it. It tells me that special device dsb doesn't exist.

Could you explain this a bit more in detail. I don't know much about Linux atm.

Did you type sdb or sdb1?

 

You could just try gparted (type gparted in a terminal)

you can find the install here https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/gnome-disk-utility

 

then you should be able to run the app, and you can see the structure of the disk(s)

[SCHISCHKA]

sudo fdisk -l

will list your drives. Yours is prob /dev/sdb1

Make a mount point like /mnt/disk

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk

This is if your disk has been formatted.

you can always type

df

to see what is mounted
