I have two Western Digital Hard drives that I have been using successfully for months now. A 250gb and a 2tb drive. Now today without any previous issues neither will open from desktop or terminal.
Here is what I found with sudo fdisk -l
:

Any help or advice you might have in resolving this would be appreciated.
Thank you.
