Setting up Internal Drives?

[Monte1022]

Ok, I tried it on sdb, with the following:

sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt

and got the following:

mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing code page or helper program, or other error.

Maybe take a screenshot of all of your partitions in g-parted and post it for us.

In g-parted up in the upper right hand corner that's how you select each drive.

First, I appreciate your patience with me.

Ok, so here's a little bit more.

I ran:

sudo hwinfo --disk --short

and discovered that /dev/sdb is my 3TB drive that has data on it. /dev/sdc is my 500GB HDD that has data on it (NOT my SSD where Ubuntu resides), and /dev/sda is my 6TB drive.

Unfortunately, now when I try to mount any of them I get the "/mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/ABC, missing codepage or helper program, or other error" message.

Are those drives formatted with a Linux-compatible file system, such as Ext4? Or are they NTFS?

The 6TB one isn't (it has "nothing" on it, a new drive). The 3TB one I used on my previous Linux machine with no issues. I'm not sure on the 500GB one.

plan B. Sometimes this works.

Instead of /dev/sdb try /dev/sdb1

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

Also, sometimes "new drives" are unformatted. We should at least format that one.

Was it the same distro? Yes, it matters.

Yes, Ubuntu. Just a previous version (I think it was running fine on 18).

Have a look at this file - /var/log/messages - check to see if you have a error "Filesystem has duplicate UUID 56282b3b-c1f3-425e-90db-e9e26def629d - can't mount" or something similar to it - I am thinking some of your drives have the same UUID Number
also post back the results of
