Mounting Drives after removing windows 8.1 and installing Linuxmint Cinnamon

Question

i recently removed windows 8.1 and installed Linux mint 18.1 and i can't access one of my drives which weren't even the ones with windows OS but had Linux mint 17; when i try mounting with terminal i get the message 'no mount point', how can i solve this

Answer 1

Make a directory to use as a mount point, then mount the disk there.

mkdir ~/mint17/
sudo mount /dev/sdX ~/mint17/

...where /dev/sdX is the device name of the disk you want to mount.
