Drives in Ubuntu are mounted in folders as opposed to being given there own drive letters. I usually would mount my DATA drives, /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 etc in the media folder.

in linux, all your connected drives are looked at as one huge drives and you read and write to partitions/folders/subdirectories instead of to a drive.

specifically, what are you trying to do?

Can you help with this problem?
