Missing Storage Media

[liveandlearn]

Hi im using Slax Linux and I go to my storage media and only find one of the hard drives there, where can I find my other hard drives that are no there?

It sounds like they're not mounted. Do the other hard drives have entries in /etc/fstab? If so, run

mount -a

as root.

Execute this in Terminal/Konsole:

fdisk -l
df -h

Post output here.
You must have root privileges to execute fdisk command.

root@slax:~# fdisk - l

Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK Change partition table
fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK List partition table(s)
fdisk -s PARTITION Give partition size(s) in blocks
fdisk -v Give fdisk version
Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
root@slax:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
aufs 1.8G 3.7M 1.8G 1% /
/dev/sdc1 466G 376G 90G 81% /mnt/sdc1
root@slax:~# mount -a
mount: devpts already mounted or /dev/pts busy
root@slax:~#

root@slax:~# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table

I have 2 other 500gb drives that I want to copy the C drive that is showing to the other ones that aren't showing

Slax has detected three 500GB Harddisks and one of those ( /dev/sdb ) isn't partitioned.
Have you checked third HardDisk in other machine? Does it contain data?
