Now!  here is the output this time. I don't know why it is different and 
shows all drives? I did go back to Xp and tried a couple things 
suggested by Jerry. I was able to get xp to show the Empty sdd drive so 
thats an improvement but the 160GB sdc drive with media on it could not 
be made to show in XP, MY computer  even though I changed the drive 
letter.   I then restarted Ubuntu   maybe that made a difference??
