Hard Drives won't mount 10.10

Asked by Kyle Bates

Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop 64bit. I have 5 Hard drives in use with the OS. 1 Master, 2 slave, 2 externals. one of the 2 slave drives wont mount. I'll restart and it will mount but then the other won't mount. I try to mount using terminal commands and I will get errors. When i use the disc utility to try to mount i will get the following error:

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /
mount failed

Any ideas? Just getting annoyed with having to restart to get data off the other HDD.

then you can access /dev/sda1 from / with is the highest folder in Linux. You can mount partitions (You can't mount drives) from the places menu which may help

Can you give the output of:

sudo parted -l; mount

Thanks
