I am using Ubuntu mate on my PC. I want to copy video from my hard disk to my PC. When I connect, I will get notification but when I search I am not able to find my hard disk folder. Please help me.

    Ubuntu Mate's default file manager (I suppose it's Caja) should display external drives in the left bar. Open the file manager and it should be there. – Eduardo Cola Dec 25 '15 at 16:05

First you need to open Terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T) and run command fdisk -l . You will then see lists of partitions on your system such as /dev/sda1-2-3-4. You need to identify by size or system information.

Once you recognized your drive your need to mount your drive to one of directory in your system. Below command to mount your drive:

sudo mound /dev/sda*

Please add entry in FSTAB to make your mount point permanent. Adding an entry to fstab

Once you mount your drive to your system. You can copy your data.

I hope this will help. Cheers :)
