I have a 500GB hard drive formatted as ext3: /dev/sdc1
.
The disk utility does not even see this. This warning is from GParted:
e2label: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sdc1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
dump2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
dumpe2fs: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sdc1
Unable to read contents of this file system?
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
Did I lose something during the upgrade of the system? Was it the hard drive or the Ubuntu system that went bad?
fdisk -l

Recompile the kernel. It is the only way. – ta.speot.is – 2010-04-23T08:35:54.600

Could we please get the output of
sudo fdisk -l
? – Bobby – 2010-04-23T08:45:35.9071changing kernels often changes the device used to address a harddrive. your drive probably isn't at /dev/sdc anymore -- maybe it's /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/sdx. you just have to figure out where it is now, and update whatever's trying to access it at the old device path. – quack quixote – 2010-04-23T09:03:02.720
@bobby its the sdc i want to remount without reformatting – Sean – 2010-04-23T09:03:15.603
(and yes, ignore @taspeotis, he is either pulling your leg or woefully uninformed.) – quack quixote – 2010-04-23T09:04:26.850
