What does "ls -Ahl /" print?
You obviously have no /mnt and /media directory... try to make them or use the "-p" switch for mkdir. |

Of course, you can create them 
But do it as root... |

It doesn't appear that you have the /mnt or /media directories created. When you try to create a folder inside a nonexistent folder, it'll give you an error.
You can either make the directories sequentially with | Code: | mkdir /mnt
mkdir /mnt/ubuntu |
or you can use | Code: | | mkdir -p /mnt/ubuntu |
which will create all the parent folders necessary to create the final folder you need.
Hope that helps. |
