Unable to see a SD Card Drive in Ubuntu 1010 in VM Ware Player

Asked by Stephan Cadisch

Looking for help for a problem which keeps me busy a couple of days already. I'm using Ubuntu 1010 (installed from ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso) in a VM Ware Player 3.1.2 build-301548, after installing a new virtual machine with this Ubuntu Build, I was able to see my SD Card Drive which I use as my data store and could access all the data properly. After running the Update Manager in Ubuntu, to be updated on the most recent released updates, and restarting Ubuntu, I couldn't find my SD Card anymore in Filesystem/mnt/hgfs. Hope to find a solution for this problem, thanks in advance.

If you boot and login without the SD card inserted then once the OS settles, insert a card and run:

dmesg | tail; sudo fdisk -l; mount

What is output?

Sda sounds like it is not healthy. I suggest you boot to live CD and check all partitions for errors with fsck.

Can you help with this problem?
