I have recently installed ubuntu 18.04 LTS in on ssd but it is not showing my hard drive. Please help what should I do ??

Content of fstab file:

  • Are you talking about Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS? or Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS? or something else. What have you used to look? blkid fdisk, gparted, gnome-disks or something else? – guiverc Apr 15 '20 at 11:09
  • Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS. I used gnome disk and my hard drive is showing in that but I cannot mount it . – antrez Apr 15 '20 at 12:03
  • When I click on "Other Places" only my ssd shows up. No hdd – antrez Apr 15 '20 at 12:06
  • Please edit your post with a copy and paste of the lines in your /etc/fstab file. Is the ssd mounted in fstab? A suitable entry might be: # SSD UUID=b195263c-cf66-4dfa-8e40-9b3b586523f4 / ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 – graham Apr 15 '20 at 12:10
  • Edited . Please check – antrez Apr 15 '20 at 12:29
  • When I attempted to reformat what you posted, it looked like the UUIDs were all commented out. I edited it to how it should look. Please confirm that it matches what you have. – rtaft Apr 15 '20 at 13:05
  • @Béné I just posted the output. Please check it out – antrez Apr 15 '20 at 17:15
  • The problem why you can't see your harddrive (/dev/sda) is that it's not a "normal" ntfs partition but a Microsoft LDM partition that apparently isn't natively supported by 18.04. It is possible to mount it though, check out this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22108676 Unfortunately I know nothing about that partition type and therefore can't help you any further. Please edit the title to someting like "How can I mount a Microsoft LDM partition". Like that someone more knowledgable might find your question. Good luck! – Béné Apr 15 '20 at 18:24

sudo apt install ldmtool
sudo ldmtool create all

For persisting the mounted LDM in Ubuntu, create the file /etc/rc.local and copy the code as below.

  1. To create the file:

    sudo vim /etc/rc.local

  2. Content:

    #!/bin/bash
ldmtool create all
exit 0

  3. Make the file executable:

    sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local
