I'm transitioning from Windows to Linux Mint and need some help moving my entire 'music' folder from my 500GB SSD to my 1TB HDD. I've checked the 'disks' tool and can see my HDD is recognized, but it shows zero usage. However, the 'disk usage analyzer' only reflects the SSD in the 'home' directory.
I'm assuming my HDD is mounted, but I'm not sure how to assign my music folder to it. Any advice or step-by-step instructions would be super helpful!

To see if your HDD is mounted, run the command `lsblk` in the terminal. If it’s mounted but still shows zero usage, you might need to format it and set it up correctly. Once that’s done, you can copy your music files using commands like `cp`, `rsync`, or even through a file manager. Just make sure your HDD has a compatible filesystem first!
You might also need to edit `/etc/fstab` to ensure it mounts automatically after a reboot.
