I am a first time Ubuntu user.
I have installed Ubuntu due to my Windows 7 did not want to boot up (tried safe mode, command line, boot disk, boot from usb....etc. )
On my Windows 7 setup, I have the following Disk Partitions: c: system d: files e: major data storage for important stuff
I have now installed ubuntu, and can wanting to get all my data out from e:, then format all 3 drives above.
My problem is, I cannot manage to get e: be mounted so far. The format on the drive is not detected.
Can someone please guide me step by step how to rescue my files out?
Thank you very much.
