I formatted two HDDs in win11 with NTFS and then I moved those to a server with Ubuntu server.

Now the os doesn't find those new HDDs. What did I do wrong. I am a beginner with the linux environment. Those HDDs have power in server. BIOS doesn't find those HDDs.

  • "BIOS doesn't find those HDDs." that is not an Ubuntu problem... if fdisk does not list them or the BIOS does not see internal harddisks it is a hardware issue.

if ...
$ lsblk -ape7 -o +FSTYPE,MODEL,PARTLABEL,LABEL
... shows at least basic info of your HDD's, then...

I would GUESS you actually mean
that your Ubuntu OS doesn't (allow to) mount NTFS formatted disks;
then you need to find and install a NTFS filesystem.

Try:
$ sudo apt install ntfs-3g
... and see what difference it makes.

  • I've understood that it's already in ubuntu server origally inside.

  • $ udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/device and it will show up in /media/$USER/

  • Corrected: To verify: $ dpkg -l | grep -i ntfs should have ii in the leftmost column for e.g. ntfs-3g. If that is present AND lsblk shows your disks and partitions, all you have to do is MOUNT them.

  • ntfs-3g on jo ja udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/device -komento sanoo että error looking up object for device /dev/device. /media/$user -komento sanoo että: -bash: /media/: is a directory. Viimeisintä komentoa en ole ajanut.
