External hard drive problem (unable to mount ext4 partition)
I have a problem with an external HDD. Last time I used it it worked properly. This time I'm not able to mount the partition where all my documents are located (it is the SATA hard drive from my old laptop). After I deleted the windows partitions it looks like this:
It looks like partition 4 and 5 are the same one, my old /home, but I don't konw how to relocate it in order to mount/read the partition. Nautilus didn't recognized it and GParted is unable to open it. I tried to record an
I tried to record an image of those two partitions. For partition 4 the size of the image is 1 kb :O and for partition 5 i didn't have enough place.
Results of fdisk -l :
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdc3 66050048 136929279 7087923 33.8G 83 Linux
/dev/sdc4 136931326 976771071 839839746 400.5G 5 Extended
/dev/sdc5 145133568 976771071 831637504 396.6G 83 Linux
Partition 4 does not start at the boundary of the physical sector.
Has anyone an idea to solve the problem and/or read/copy/recover the files? I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. I tried also from a live USB with Ubuntu 16.04.

The image from Disks looks confused, it has partition 5 beside 4, but fdisk says 5 takes up almost all the same space 4 does (4 being an extended partition). Where are the mount problems? What messages show up in dmesg or /var/log/syslog when you attempt mounting? Trymount -vin a terminal (with appropriate folders (I'd use read-only too), maybesudo mount -v -o ro /dev/sdc5 /mountpointC5
