View Full Version : [xubuntu] Where did my partitions go after Hardy upgrade?

I first tried a fresh install of Hardy (Xubuntu), keeping my home partition from 7.10. After that installation, my Home partition was recognized, but all of my other partitions were missing.

I reinstalled 7.10, then upgraded using the same separate home partition. /home is still working, and I was excited to see my partitions in /media. I just opened one of the folders and it shows nothing there. A right click gives no option to mount or unmount, and properties lists 0 items and 0 size.

I've searched several times for similar issues, but have been unable to find any. I'm hoping this is something simple. All of my media files and work documents are on other partitions. I'm not sure where to start with this. I'll have to go back to 7.10 if I can't get this figured out.

Thanks in advance for your help!

SDA1 used to be my windows partition. It is now unformatted space.

You can mount your partitions with this formula:
sudo mkdir /media/sda7
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /media/sda7
