Unable to access or detect second harddrive

[David Park]

/dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda5
is what i got, also how could it be my system when my bios and windows
could detect it. I also made sure nothing else was wrong with my
installation. Ubuntu clearly just cant detect my harddrive whether it
be cause its not a supported hard drive or something totally different
like a glitch or something like that. ... This pisses me off.
