    can you go into terminal (applications->accessories -> terminal) and type:
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    Then post the output here.

    Also please dont bump a post until at least 24 hours have passed.

    Re: Unable to mount the volume

    from looking at that it appears that C: = /dev/sda3 and D: = /dev/sda2. To mount them use the two following sets of commands.

    C:
    Code:
    sudo mkdir /media/C_drive
    sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda3 /media/C_drive
    cd /media/C_drive
    ls
    D:
    Code:
    sudo mkdir /media/D_drive
    sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /media/D_drive
    cd /media/D_drive
    ls
