Check then the possible parameters of the mount command. There should be documentation with /? or /help or something.That's already done, I can see the directory.As far as I can see you must create such a directory at first with a command like:Pretty much but when I do (exactly) as the online Ubuntu help page says it tells me "no such directory exists" yet I can see the directory and path.
If push comes to shove when I finally get my new build done I'll put the new HDD in my current Windows machine, turn my current Windows machine into my new Linux machine and donate or sell my old Linux machine.
My new Windows gamer will have SSDs instead of HDDs, M.2 (PCIe) form factor.
sudo mkdir /media/hdd
If you want to mount a ntfs disk you must add an -t paramenter to the mount command:
-t ntfs-3g /def/sda/media/hdd
sda and hdd are variable, hdd is just an example, you can call it anyhow, or it is the name of the disk.

does the drive show up at all? there may be a mount option with the right click menu.Added an extra HDD on my Ubuntu machine, formatted (ext4), made new directory but even reading through the documentation numerous times still cannot figure out how to mount the new HDD. I edited in fstab but not sure I did it correctly, had to look up how to exit fstab so pretty sure my edit wasn't saved.
Yup, show up, path looks correct, everything look right but I obviously did something wrong right from the get-go. I'm seriously thinking starting from scratch or just stick it in my Windows desktop and network both computers.does the drive show up at all? there may be a mount option with the right click menu.Added an extra HDD on my Ubuntu machine, formatted (ext4), made new directory but even reading through the documentation numerous times still cannot figure out how to mount the new HDD.

It has no operating system, it's purely for storage besides I just now finished networking this Ubuntu machine and my Windows Gamer all in less than 30 minutes........ Think I'll just put the new drive in the gamer.......
Comes back, "Can't find in fstab".
hmm...
an external drive kit could let you connect via usb.
At a sixteenth the transfer speed...........
didn't know speed was an issue. storage is usually convenient. did the drive come with its own software? sometimes you need to format a drive with its own software to get optimal results and better system recognition.
There something funny about trying to do this after just waking up and just starting on my first cup of coffee........ I disconnected the wrong drive and tried to boot up........
Ahh...yep... sudo is needed for pretty much anything to do with the system.There something funny about trying to do this after just waking up and just starting on my first cup of coffee........ I disconnected the wrong drive and tried to boot up........
You didn't tell me I had to log in as a super user........... First feedback was "cannot open /dev /loop 0 (thru 12) with sba1 tucked in the middle (same message).
With SU it shows me all the sectors, logical/physical and I/O.
Now to plug it back in.

It is when you transferring large files, I'm converting my DVDs to MP4 and transferring them to the new drive, those are very large files........
Maybe I should do this the easy(?) way, wipe the primary drive and reinstall Ubuntu with the secondary drive in place.Ahh...yep... sudo is needed for pretty much anything to do with the system.There something funny about trying to do this after just waking up and just starting on my first cup of coffee........
