Simple and straight to the point. Perfect 👍

Thank you so much. I got a new laptop yesterday and I was so worried as ubuntu installation was not detecting the hard drive. But changing the date and time solved the problem.

very useful video. Would have been better if explained through audio in more detail on where the mounting happens and if we can select the mount disk.

Hi! I had the same problem, Here's how I fixed it:
Firstly, the "///" are comment lines, Do Not copy them into the terminal.
Secondly, replace the username with your username.


1.Check the existing mount points:
ls /media/username/

/// This command will list the contents of the /media/username/ directory to confirm if the Local_Disk directory was created successfully.


2.Remount the drive:

/// First, ensure the /media/username/Local_Disk directory exists.
/// Then, unmount the drive if it's currently mounted:

sudo umount /dev/sda1



3.Remount the drive:

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/username/Local_Disk



/// Hope it helps!😃
Edit: Try the first command after all of this( ls /media/username/ ): the first time is should be blue and the second time green

fdisk gives me " bad usage" comment, as usually in Linux, great tutorials online, mostly unusable in real life

Is there a counter part for disks in kali?

I have an external drive but for some reason it is being detected by either Windows 10 or Ubuntu 18. I was even able to find it on the disks app on Ubuntu, but it is not giving me any options, just format. Do you know a way to access to its files?

[alexcity]

What did you do exactly? Will the data stay safe or will it be deleted?
Will this process apply to all internal and external hard drives?
For me, the external hard drive is only undefined and I do not want anything to happen to other hard drives or data
Thanks
