This is always good. You might start here: Welcome to Ask Fedora! Please read me first!
Thats what @computersavvy asked for (Please read Helping your helpers)

That he not has to assume:

Everything you have doubts in Linux, you can read/ask the man(ual) in the terminal, the first lines give you an overview of the command/file etc. you need info.

Let’s start, type the following man commands in the terminal one by one and read at least the header/description, that you have an idea what you are doing.

# Every line is a separate manual entry.
# You can copy/paste the whole block of commands and jump to the next entry
# by pressing the " q " key. 
man cat
man fstab
man sudo
man fdisk
man cp
man ls
man nano

  1. Now we do have a couple of commands do solve the problem (type or copy/paste into terminal)

    cat /etc/fstab
    Please show us the output as preformatet text

  2. To see the information of your hard-disk you like to read/write (if external, verify that it is plugged in and switched on)

    sudo fdisk -l
    Please show us the output as preformatet text

  3. Try to find out your HD’s info where @computersavvy was assuming (please refer to the fdisk -l command output):
    (would like to see your guess!)

  1. Backup your fstab:
    sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup
    ls -l /etc/fstab* #verify if you have both files original/backup

  2. Before editing your /etc/fstab we would like to get a feedback from you.
    nano testfile # to play around if nano is new for you.
    sudo nano /etc/fstab

I took this in consideration …

Please next time make for every question a new request.
