[aditya2]

Need facts first.
What sort of local disks can't you open? SATA, IDE, Flash, SSD?
What sort of partitions do these disks have?
Is there any encryption involved?
Did you select to install LVM during the Ubuntu install?

To get started, connect all the disks you have having issues with accessing and please run:
$ sudo parted -l
and post the results. This just gathers data about the connected storage media. Check the parted man page, to see if I'm lying.
