Plus it is listed in Files, Disks and other places.įollowing are links to websites I have looked for help and followed many of their suggestions. I know the computer is communicating with the 'TOSHIBA EXT' drive because the the light on the drive blinks and goes on and off all the time the computer is running.
Waited 30 seconds and rebooted the computer. I used 'Safely remove disk' to shut the Toshiba drive down and shutdown the computer. I used properties to try to mount it but it will not mount. I opened Files (Nautilus) and the Toshiba drive is listed in Files but is not mounted. When I started the computer, the Toshiba drive did not mount and was not listed in Xfe File Manager.
Shortly after, the power to my house went off. I was going to shutdown the computer and noticed the light on the Toshiba disk was still blinking so I decided to wait. After about an hour, the size of files copied had barely changed, I cancelled the process. The trouble began when I was using Xfe File Manager to copy 2 GB of picture files to the 'TOSHIBA EXT' USB disk on my Ubuntu 18.04.
