8.04 64-bit, where are my hard drives?

[gsrcrxsi]

so i backed up all my VMs, music, pictures, etc to one of my many hard drives. including about 600-700GB of movies, and now with a fresh install i dont see my hard drives in the file manager. why doesnt mythbuntu see them?

Did you mount them somewhere?

Whats the output of
sudo fdisk -l

and also

mount

[gsrcrxsi]

mount what? theres nothing there to mount. before on 7.10 in file manager, it showed my unmounted drives as "500 GB volume" now theres nothing there

Yea, it was mounted. You could run the commands I asked, otherwise I can't try to help you.

sorry i didnt mean to sound standoff-ish, i just wasnt at my desktop when i typed that. if they are already mounted somewhere thats great, ive just never has an OS do that by default.

so it appears that they have been mounted

thanks, i think i can work with them now, ill just have to set them to mount elsewhere.

Actually from this we can't tell if they are mounted:
mount with no arguments will tell you what has already been mounted. All fdisk did is tell you waht physical drives were in your machine.

[tgm4883]

Yes, please run the other command now and post the results

mount

[gsrcrxsi]

i said i got it, lol. i ran fdisk and printed the output 2 posts above.

i just edited the fstab and mounted them where i wanted them. it works how i want now
