Unable to Access Internal HDDs in Debian

Xplorer4x4 · 05-29-2012, 09:28 AM

I finally jumped from Windows to linux, in particular Debian. When using the file manager, I see my other 2 internal SATA HDDs connected but get an error that they can not be accessed. How can I get my other HDDs to start working? Oh and the other partition on my SSD where windows was is not showing any where in Debian.

While logging in, go to 'Not Listed' and type root, type root pwd's and see if u can mount the hdd's...

What do you mean go to "Not listed?"

In your login screen, isnt there any option like 'not listed'?

No there is not. There is two options. I forget what they are off hands but there is nothing like that in the menus.

Here is the error: http://i.imgur.com/tbqUJ.jpg

Edit: Americast, thanks for atleast trying to help. The above install was done using the win32 debian installer on the dvd. I decided to do a clean install because the dvd setup is a bit more advanced. On the new install using the lice cd/cd 1 I can access the two HDDs fine but I can not access the other partition which is my C drive partition on my SSD for windows.
