I wasn't looking for an error log.  But you mentioned an error
message that comes up on the screen when you try to mount the drive.
 That's what I was looking for.

You said that your computer has three sata drives but your fstab
shows only one.  The other is an IDE drive.  Does that mount OK?  Do
you have more entries in fstab than you've shown here?  Please post
the full file.  Also post the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and 'mount'.

we do not see the one which has opened for us.
