My hard drive is mounted but does not appear in 'places' or in 'save as'.

How do I find it to save a file?

See my comment below for result of lsblk. Sorry I can't do a better paste. Samsung drive is mounted but does not appear in 'places' when I do 'save as'.

  • Is this the same hard drive you've booted from? – NerdOfCode Mar 16 '18 at 14:25
  • Could you please [edit] your question to include the output of sudo lsblk -f and indicate to which storage volume your question refers? Thanks. – David Foerster Mar 16 '18 at 16:05

You can always type lsblk in the terminal to see all drives and where they're mounted.

Remount?

Assuming this is not the drive you've booted from, you could find and remount the drive to a location known to you...

We can accomplish such by running:

sudo fdisk -l

Then find your hard drive relative to its size... After this, you can unmount this drive by running:

sudo umount hard_drive_location

And finally, you can remount this drive by running:

sudo mount hard_drive_location where_to_mount

You should replace "hard_drive_location" with the location you found using fdisk, and you should also replace the "where_to_mount" with where you want to mount to, something like /mnt should be good...
