My old hard drive has a dual boot system of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 on it. Before my old computer crashed I could not back up the data on it.
Now I want to get the data back, at least from the Ubuntu partition. The thing is when I plug in the old hard drive it is not being shown in the list of partitions in Nautilus.
disks
however recognises a Hard Disk plugged in via USB but says it's "500GB Unkown" with device name /dev/sdb
.
How can I normally mount the disk from within Ubuntu?
Outputs:
vgscan
(as suggested in this answer):Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
lsblk -f /dev/sdb
:NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT sdb
fdisk -l /dev/sdbfdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
sudo lsblk -f /dev/sdb
? Replace/dev/sdb
with whatever path the device happens to have after you connect it.
