With the latest version, I have sometimes noticed Ubuntu not
auto-mounting partitions automatically. Sometimes, evoking eerie
memories of when I used Windows, a simple reset is enough to fix this.
If not, have you had much experience with the "mount" command for
mounting partitions? "fdisk" for listing partition table information?
Observe:

administra...@hpmini:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Hope this helps!
