I tried to upgrade my computer from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, and something messed up. No worries, I had a backup, so I wiped out the old 18.04 and installed 20.04. I have 2 drives in the system: 1 TB and 4TB. The 1 TB has 20.04 installed and the 4 TB has the backup from the old 18.04 system. I mounte
