Ubuntu shows disk volumes as one partition

  • 772


When I was installing Ubuntu(12.04 and 11.10) showed 2 partitions, whereas I have 4 partitions on Windows 7: C(70GB),D(300GB),E(300GB),F(30GB).
Ubuntu is only 2 disks: one is 70GB, the latter is 677GB. But inside that disk there are no files from E and F. But when I checked in Windows, that files are exist.

This is what I got from blkid:

/dev/sda2: UUID="deac59a9-a0d0-4a69-a918-d511a9857204" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda4: UUID="C606C83106C82471" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda5: UUID="2d3d4bf9-33b7-461c-aa88-c08caa6bef58" TYPE="swap"

And this is from sudo fdisk -l
enter image description here

How can I access that disks?

  1. You'll need to install something that can install a decryption tool that can read the partitions before you can do anything with them.

    Have a look at gdecrypt in the Ubuntu repositories. Since I've never done it I will have trouble giving step by step instructions but the following is from software center page:

    gdecrypt was written for making the use of decrypted partitions under Linux more easy. It currently contains a GUI written in PyGTK for decrypting/mounting, unmounting and encrypting partitions or container files and it supports partitions created with truecrypt (see http://truecrypt.org for details) and LUKS.

    Note that truecrypt <=4.3a is required for truecrypt support and cryptsetup with luks is required for luks support.

    You should probably edit your question with the vital truecrypt information if you want to get some help from someone who has used truecrypt. Neither Windows nor Ubuntu come with truecrypt support out of the box so you have to install it before you can access those partitions. This is easy enough to do with Ubuntu (select try Ubuntu then install gdecrypt) but I don't know how you will tackle Windows.
