need to mount my external HD

[phase8]

Running Kubuntu and my seagate ex drive used to show on the system but no longer does. lsusb shows it :

ancer@lance-desktop:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 058f:9360 Alcor Micro Corp. 8-in-1 Media Card Reader
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:00f9 Microsoft Corp.

lancer@lance-desktop:~$

I have been told all that I need to do is to mount it. Can someone help with this as I have 10 years of my life in pictures on this drive

Thank you all

Open a terminal and type

sudo fdisk -l
mount

and post the output here ... the -l is a small L not a one

The partition information for sdb is missing.

better??

From the information listed you have three drives connected to the system:-
160GB sda with 2 partitions (linux installed)
40GB sdb with no partitions
160GB sdc with no partitions

What has happened to the sdb and sdc drives was other information listed with fdisk -l which you did not post?

[phase8]

nope put it all on
the 2nd and 3rd drives were just used for data storage when the system was a windows system. The 160 gb Disk identifier: 0x000035e6 is the external drive that I cant find to get into it

[Jonathan183]

No partitions are being shown for the external drive ... have you disconnected the drive without unmounting it or something similar that would explain why no partitions are shown?

[phase8]

Yes I did unplug the thing ....where can I go from here to get it right??

[devils casper]

First of all, plug-in both disks in any Windows Machine and check if partitions of both disks detected correctly or not.
