My Windows disk partitions are appearing under “Other Locations”, When I access the partitions, I can open files, read them, but I cannot create a new folder. I'm using dual boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.

Were they mounted as RW? (read-write). If the file-system is unclean (ie. not all data has been written to the partition cleanly such as fast-boot enabled or a hibernated windows 10) a file-system will only open RO (read-only) to prevent data-loss. If a fs flips from RW to RO, it's because errors were detected, and flipping to RO prevents data loss. You'll need to provide more detail (or check logs, details when mounted are the best clue as to reason why it's mounted RO; though it could be other permissions issue too). – guiverc Oct 08 '20 at 09:09

if that's the only reason you can't open the fs RO, then yes. – guiverc Oct 08 '20 at 09:16

I followed a guide in which i had to first note down a number from sudo blkid of my ntfs drives and then i had to open a file /etc/fstab and write some texts in the end of the file to mount it. I also did what guiverc said. so one of those two things worked. Thanks by the way :) – Harshit Chepe Oct 09 '20 at 14:17
