Did you encrypt your disk?

When in console, are your partitions mounted?
(Are you familiar with entering commands in the console/terminal?)

Enter this command:
lsblk

You should get a list back with something like this (in my case disk sdb 
is not encrypted):

NAME MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINT
loop15             7:15   0  54,8M  1 loop /snap/gtk-common-themes/1502
...
sdb 8:16   0 232,9G  0 disk
├─sdb4             8:20   0 177,1G  0 part  /home
├─sdb2             8:18   0   7,6G  0 part  [SWAP]
├─sdb3             8:19   0  47,7G  0 part  /
└─sdb1             8:17   0   487M  0 part  /boot/efi
...

sdb is my boot disk
sdbx are the partitions on that disk
Look at NAME and MOUNTPOINT columns (type column tells you what it is - 
disk or part(ition)

So, do you see these partitions and mountpoints when running lsblk?
(In your case the boot drive may be sda / sdc / sdd / ... - does not 
have to be sdb).

Are you seeing these:

boot partition: "/boot/efi"  (system startup)

root partition: "/"  (operating system, GUI, apps, ...)

home partition: "/home" (usually location of user data)

any of those / none of those ?

Best regards,

Klaus
