[SOLVED] Trouble with mounting windows ntfs HDD

raysuoo · 2024-12-08 21:21:35

Sorry if I'm not making a perfect post, tried to replicate clear posts

My computer is on dual-boot. I have 2 SSDs and 1 HDD, arch is on an SSD, the windows boot is on the other and the HDD is where I store the files and etc.
I am trying to mount the HDD so that I can access those files on arch too and not need to swap OS every time just to read a file. I tried following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnRsel0-Qzc but when I run

lsblk -f

this is my output

I don't have the UUID of the sda which is my HDD. How can I proceed?

I tried following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnRsel0-Qzc

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows - and notably the 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

lsblk -f … don't have the UUID of the sda which is my HDD

Is that from some chroot? Sure sda isn't the install iso?

raysuoo · 2024-12-08 22:29:59

Just checked and fast boot is disabled. I am sure that the sda is not the iso and is my HDD because of the size. I can differentiate them easily by their size

Arch is working perfectly but I wanted to have access to that disk, if I do

sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/Windows

but the output is as following

mount: /mnt/Windows: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

Is the drive bitlocker encrypted?

raysuoo · 2024-12-09 08:37:20

No it is not, neither device or driver encrypted. On windows I can see the main drive and the partition that I created for sharing the files and it's seemingly all regular

seth · 2024-12-09 08:41:32

sudo file -s /dev/sda3
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

raysuoo · 2024-12-09 08:48:00

the first one

/dev/sda3: data

the second one
