What i want is to use terminal to access my entire hard drive and other devices using terminal. this is because i store most of my data in other partitions other than the home directory. i want to play music, videos and manipulate data contained in other partitions on my hard drive using terminal.

I don't know what you're asking. I find it faster to access files from terminal than with gui, you justmountthem & navigate to them (cdetc), then do whatever you want with them (eg. I usecmusto play music, though if you want to play a single filempg123is faster as no UI to navigate) which can be done from anywhere (sshinto box). You may be asking how (how to use terminal, how tomountetc), what apps to use (eg.cmus,mpg123i used by example only) or something else?

To access them, you need to know where they are located. It sounds like you have multiple partitions, you can see where they are mounted using lsblk. Here's an example of the output from that command on one of my systems.
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 800M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 260M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda3 8:3 0 128M 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 149.7G 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 350M 0 part
├─sda6 8:6 0 759.3G 0 part /media/Music
└─sda7 8:7 0 21G 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 1.4T 0 part /home
├─sdb2 8:18 0 200M 0 part
├─sdb3 8:19 0 5.9G 0 part [SWAP]
└─sdb4 8:20 0 482.2G 0 part /
sdc 8:32 0 3.7T 0 disk
├─sdc1 8:33 0 1.7T 0 part /media/Movies
└─sdc2 8:34 0 2T 0 part /media/Pictures
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
So if I wanted to play a music file located on partition sda6, I could either cd to /media/Music and look for it, or if I know it, I could use the full path in my music player /media/Music/Blondie/Rip_Her_To_Shreds.mp3

I don't know what you're asking. I find it faster to access files from terminal than with gui, you just
mountthem & navigate to them (cdetc), then do whatever you want with them (eg. I usecmusto play music, though if you want to play a single filempg123is faster as no UI to navigate) which can be done from anywhere (sshinto box). You may be asking how (how to use terminal, how tomountetc), what apps to use (eg.cmus,mpg123i used by example only) or something else?– guiverc
