I've just installed Lubuntu 17.10 on my laptop and removed Windows 7. But I can't find my former hard disks (D:\, E:). When I tried Lubuntu without installing ( and deleting the previous os ) I could use my hard disks. But they have disappeared. What can I do?

As @Rinzwind pointed out in comments, you've overwritten your Windows partitions with Lubuntu -- unless you have a backup, all the information that was on the computer is gone. If you have additional physical drives, however, they won't have been touched by the install; you merely need to add entries for them into /etc/fstab so they'll automount when Lubuntu starts. There's documentation available on how to format an fstab entry, and you'll want/need something that will read the UUID from each volume (UUID is strongly preferred over volume label or device notation, as it doesn't change unless the volume is formatted).

First of all, Install a utility such as gparted . It will scan your hard disk and you'll come to know if those partitions exist in the first place or not.

If they exist, select the partition you want , right click and select "Information" There you'll get the "UUID"

Now you'll need to add entries to fstab.. follow this guide HERE
