D drive not available to mount

Asked by fuzzylogic

So I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and I decided to change from 64-bit to 32-bit The upgrade worked fine my only problem is that I cannot see my second hard-drive on the laptop. The new version of ubuntu has wiped everything clean if I go into an earlier version of ubuntu all my files are still there this is also the same for windows but I still can't acess the second hard drive on either windows or the 64 bit 10.04

please help me I need my second hd back as it has everything saved on it

You don't have anything in "Places" that looks like this harddrive? It should appear there.

Can you give the output of:

sudo fdisk -l; mount

Thanks

I'm guessing by "D drive" you mean sdb...

Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

Appears to be a linux based drive:

/dev/sdb1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=600)

I couldn't comment on the arch of the install, unless you are booted to sdb, in which case you can run:

uname -m

i686 == 32bit
x86_64 == 64bit

You can check the release with:

lsb_release -c

Can you help with this problem?
