I have replaced Windows 7 with Ubuntu on my old PC. There is another internal hard drive in my old PC, that contains a lot of data.
I cannot access this hard drive, as it is not mounted.
This is how it looks.

First step is to look at the partition type, e.g. withfdisk -l /dev/sdb(as root) for textual output on the shell you can cut and paste when you edit the question. The-l(lower case ell) is important. Second step is to try to mount it, e.g.mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt(as root) and see what happens, assuming you have a/mntdirectory for mountpoints. Depending on how your system looks,/media, or a directory under one of these two will also work as a good mountpoint.
