Oh dear. I found the link you were talking about and I see what you mean

So I believe that the '...' stands for the drive GUID or its label

i.e. "277317a0-68b6-40ec-b264-d22fd76d23ff" <--- GUID

Or "277" <--- Default label

So seeing as my default label is "277", I can put the following in autorun.lua:

local fs = require("filesystem")
fs.mount("277", "/mnt/mainDrive")

Now I highly doubt your hard drive will have a label of "277". If you want to get the label of your hard drive you can type

'df'

Into the shell, as instructed in that link you mentioned earlier.

The one you're looking for is the one with the highest available space

An example if you're still confused...

 

Good luck

In fact there IS an error - it's just you can't see it

Try doing 

local fs = require("filesystem")
print(fs.mount("T3", "/T3"))

And you'll see a different story!

 

So the reason this happens is that your main drive is already mounted at "/".

When you try to mount it at "/T3" then it complains...

An easy way to get around this it to mount it at "/mnt/T3" like so:

local fs = require("filesystem")
fs.mount("T3", "/mnt/T3")

Btw - you'll find that it's already in /mnt/ as well under a different name.

Try doing 

'ls /mnt/'

In the shell to see what you've got mounted there.

 

Good luck!

Ah yes the '/' at the end of '/mnt/' is very important as it tells the computer that the location is a folder rather than a file.

Try doing 'cd /' and then 'cd /mnt/T3' and see if that works.
