Make sure these partitions are mounted. I assumed you've labelled these 
disk-x yourself and directories exists in /media/

As an example try this and check it out.....
sudo mkdir /media/disk-5
sudo mount /dev/sda10 /media/disk-5
cat /media/disk-5/etc/lsb-release

Oh, you used 'x' instead of real numbers.....   :)
