Using Elementary OS on this old laptop. Trying to mount an external drive. It shows the drive but won't mount. The drive was the boot drive for a Windows system that was trashed by the update to Win 10 (long story). Anyway, I REALLY need to get some files off of it, namely my Thunderbird address book, which has ALL of my contacts. It won't mount automatically, saying it isn't clean, etc. I'm thinking there must be a terminal command that will let me mount the drive and access the files, but I don't know what it is. Can anyone help?
