    Please add which tutorial you're following and what you've done so far. Have you added your mount command to fstab? – kos Jul 27 '15 at 18:29

  • Have you created partitition(s)? And formatted those partitions? Then post these: sudo parted -l and sudo blkid. – oldfred Jul 27 '15 at 19:30

You must add the new mount to /etc/fstab, using the existing root mount as a start point ad adapt it.

    That's a comment, (they start with #), and are you sure your new drive is sda and not sdb? – ubfan1 Jul 27 '15 at 22:52
  • this answer could be improved by explaining how to add it to fstab – amc Jul 28 '15 at 00:33
  • here is the full fstab `c@c-Z97X-Gaming-5:~$ cat /etc/fstab

    /etc/fstab: static file system information.

    that works even if disks are added and removed. See

    / was on /dev/sda1 during installation

    UUID=d1715aed-2cc5-4411-ab1f-583f8e57d389 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

    swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation

    UUID=d8746096-8645-4961-8ab4-af0e6d618fb1 none swap sw 0 0 #/dev/sda1 /media/mynewdrive ext4 defaults 0 2 `
