laceytech757yMaybe review your disks and mount it using the correct format? If it's an NTFS drive then you will need to install the ntfs-3g drivers using: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
Reboot the machine and try to remount the drive. Hope that resolves your problem, don't give up on Linux, it's awesome and I never looked back.
