partitioning - How to mount a partition? - Ask Ubuntu


i new linux , don't know mounting. question related df -h doesn't show /dev/sda. comments teach me partition not mounted. so, how that, since have no idea of it. scared of damaging accidentally.

output of lsblk :

name    maj:min  rm   size ro type mountpoint  sda        8:0    0   100g  0 disk  vda      253:0    0    60g  0 disk    vda1    253:1    0    60g  0 part /   vda15   253:15   0     1m  0 part 

the o/p of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda is:

disk /dev/sda: 107.4 gb, 107374182400 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 13054 cylinders, total 209715200 sectors
units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
i/o size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
disk identifier: 0x727b8bb7

device boot start end blocks id system

i don't understand why 100g of sda isn't available. if have mount how?

/dev/sda disk, not partition. partition identifier contains number, e.g. /dev/sda1. looks have no partitions on sda drive. have create @ least 1 partition on empty disk, format , mount.

there well-written guide @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/installinganewharddrive mentioning options, follow carefully.
