Thread: drives not showing

over past couple days, i've noticed ubuntu isn't showing dvd drive, second internal hard drive or usb flash or external drives when they're plugged in. show in bios boot menu , can boot usb drive.

when boot usb, drives show fine.

there short of reinstall bring drives back?

hi,

few option can try identify root of problem.

1) try in /media external devices after connected them.

2) else can try run lsusb in terminal window , see if of usb devices @ least detected.

output got after connecting blackberry, , iomega external hdd through usb port

...$ lsusb
