Confused on mounting partitions, Linux mounting wrong one?

Im trying to mount a partition on my HDD so I can use it for a steam library. I've followed some guides, but it appears to be mounting my 1.3TB partition i use to do the same thing on windows, but I seems I did it correctly and it should be using the ~500GB partition? You can see I've clearly added sdb2, but my file system pops up with the files I know are on sdb4. Maybe it has something to do with me mounting to "/hdd"? Im new to Linux, so thorough explanation on exactly how to fix would be awesome, thanks!

Try this:


cd ~
mkdir mount
sudo mount /dev/(your partition) mount
cd mount

That's pretty basic mounting, you'll get a folder called mount in your home folder that you can open to access the partition.

To unmount just use umount.

do i need to run some commands to undo what i currently have setup in order to not break anything?
