I haven't found a similar question. I have an SSD which runs windows and Ubuntu. Additionally, I installed a 1 TB HHD to the SATA 2 connector. I wish to be able to write and read files from both OS. So far I can only read and write from Windows and only read from Ubuntu. How can I make it fully work with Ubuntu? I tried resetting the HDD from Ubuntu and that made it the other way around where Windows was not able to write to the HDD. I tried using nautilus to change the permissions directly but it does not allow me to change them. The /etc/fstab has the following for my drive

/dev/sdb1    /media/mynewdrive   vfat    defaults     0        2

    Can you update your question to include the contents of the /etc/fstab file? This will show how the 1TB HDD is being mounted. Generally Ubuntu can read and write to NTFS via the ntfs-3g driver, but this depends on both permissions and mount rules. –  Jan 05 '21 at 04:22

Note that Disks can create entry, but does not use good parameters. You need to change those, so often best to create own entry. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions Good example for parameters: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2420861&p=13865822#post13865822 – oldfred Jan 05 '21 at 15:26
  • I have my disk in FAT32 and when I start Ubuntu the disk is mounted already. My only issue is unable to write to it – Ran123 Jan 07 '21 at 20:54
