Data disk not visible

If the disk was a standard NTFS disk - Linux Lite would see and be able to mount the disk. *but do make sure to disable fastboot in Windows.
If fastboot is enable its does not release the disk and would keep any other OS from mounting. 2 entities trying to write to the disk.... Safety feature.


See my screenshot below of the same..


Give Linux time, its similar but is different and may take a minute to learn those differences but LL is the most user friendly specially coming from Windows....


LDM is a bit of a special - its spanning/raid/Windows specific stuff for disks.
*Depending how you have configured there maybe a tool (ldmtool) to allow to read the data. If the LDM is a raid there maybe caveats... Specially if unhealthy..
Can see here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8427...with-linux


I have not used the tool or played with LDM outside of windows... In Linux I have used LVM's which can be used to span similarly.


If you attempt anything - make sure you have a back up - there is always the just in case.
And a backup (TimeShift) of your LL, it'll make a better recovery point to revert if those/the tools is not useable to borks LL.
