Hi! Congrats on moving to Linux. I would check and see if the drive is formatted for Windows, specifically NTFS. If so, do a search with Ubuntu, NTFS, and mount. If it isn't an NTFS drive, search the Ubuntu community for USB drives and mounting. I know it would be easier for me to give you a link to some good tutorials, but this comment could get flagged if I add a link. Good luck!

@@JeremysTechChannel Thank you for responding. This drive was usable in Ubuntu Budgie 22.04, but not now in 24.04. I will see if GParted can look at it.

@@JeremysTechChannel Okay. I looked at it in Gparted, and it is formatted as ntfs. In Ubuntu Budgie 22.04, I was able to mount it, open it, copy files and folders to it, etc. I don't know why I cannot do any of these things in 24.04.

@@elyzsabethahne2116 if i recall correctly this is from really old memory. There are linux kernel headers you need to install to decode NTFS drives. Look up "linux kernel ntfs install". They must have not installed it by default this go around. not sure why but probably an oversight

@@elyzsabethahne2116 Hi, I have checked into Ubuntu 24.04 flavours, there seems to be issue with the mounting of drives (other than primary). What we can do in order to resolve is to check with the applications such as (disk, gpart) and then select the drive that you want to be mounted, after that check with the path or change the path of default drive through (Edit mounting point). Once it is done, your drives are automatically able to get mounted similar to 22.04 .
