Description from the creator

If Ubuntu doesn't “see” your external USB Hard Disk, try to manually mount it. Here's how.

commands used:
sudo fdisk -l
sudo mount /dev/sd** /mnt

Input sudo fdisk -l in a terminal. You should see a large output.

Wait until the "prompt" (the line that looks like `user@host:~$`) appears again. It might take up to 5 minutes.

When the prompt appears again now you can now "mount" the device with this command:

sudo mount /dev/*sdc1* /mnt

Replace *sdc1* by the extra line you found when we did the first step in the previous video.

(example:sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt)
