I have booted through USB into the OS: ubuntu 21

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 21.04
Release:    21.04
Codename:   hirsute

After that, there are no entries for my internal hard disk in the media folder nor in the mnt.

No entry for 1 TB in the below commands also.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ df -h

Some similar posts shown to access them using some commands but before that they mentioned it should be visible in df -h, but it isn't displayed Any suggestions I need to follow to access them?

    Do you absolutely want to know how to do this in the terminal? They are easily accessible through GUI in the file explorer.

  • It is not visible there, the Hard disk is not mounted. And there is no problem in hardware as I can boot to windows 10(OS installed on that disk)

  • Are you using Bitlocker, VeraCrypt or some other form of disk encryption?

Internal drives are usually not mounted automatically on boot. What is the output of lsblk? There seems to be /dev/sda, which is probably the drive with your wanted partition.

If you find your drive with lsblk just mount it with

sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt

you need to replace the X with the partition number.

  • /dev/sda1 29G 2.7G 26G 10% /cdrom. lsblk is a nice/better alternative to fdisk -l, but it probably won't help if you don't see the device being listed in the latter.
