That looks like it might be.....use Gparted and see if you can see it there. it may just need to be formated.

[MG9]

it visible by gparted before and after formatting but still nothing on desktop

[willie42]

I am thinking now it needs to be mounted. If you mount it it should show up on your desktop.

[MG9]

can you please explain how can I do this?

[willie42]

well need to see what drive it is ex. sda , sdb etc.

open the Terminal

Code: Select all

sudo mount /dev/sdx

the X is the number of the drive.

no any result.... thanks for help. I will try to reinstall mint 10
