Phew! I'm glad it's all working with windows now.
ubuntu is supposed to be the most user friendly of all the Linux distro's, I tend to use suse, and as you can see it's a steep learning curve. I think I forgot to tell you to start file manager and click on the two drives again, which would have automatically mounted/mapped them.
Moving forward, be careful how you disconnect the Humax drive, in windows use the 'safely remove hardware' before pulling the drive and on the HDFoxT2 always shut the box down first and wait for the drive to power down, this way no files will be left open for writing and the drive/file-system state will be clean
