Hard Drives Disapeered After Installing Ubuntu

Question

I switched from windows to ubuntu, and I downloaded it on my SSD but I have 2 extra 2TB hard drives that I use for file storage, however I don't see them on my file systems tab in ubuntu or near my computer tab in the files menu, but if I run the fdisk command they show up. Here is what it shows:

You can't access disk partitions unless they are mounted. So, you first need to mount them. Check out this post: I cant mount my newly created partition in gparted

To have your system automatically mount them at boot-time, you need to make configuration changes to the /etc/fstab file. Follow this link to get more information on how to do that. Same can be achieved in Disks app in Ubuntu
