Re: Cannot find my external usb
Check if you can see your external USB disk via your Ubuntu graphical interface. It will probably automount the partition when you will try to access it.
The "mount" command can be used to display the mount point of this partition.
If you still have problems, you may want to visit an Ubuntu forum to learn more about Ubuntu and next use TestDisk & PhotoRec.
