I cannot access a partition on hdd
I copied os (ubuntu 12.04) updated onto my 2nd hdd. Now I cannot access the data that was on the hdd before the os was copied onto it. I don't know if it is over written or not.
If I use disk utility I can still see the partition, but when I search for the data, nothing is found.
I am nit sure if it is mounted or not.
Here are some details:
