During the installation process, I chose to not erase the entire disk, so I installed it on the "C Partition" that I had windows 10 on, and that is after formatting the partition ofc. so I had 3 partitions untouched 1 for the SSD and another 2 more for the HDD(800 GB & 200GB), but I only found two (the SSD one, and 1 of the 2 HDD), and when I go to "Disks" I see that the HDD is read correctly as 1TB but when I go to files I see that "800 GB" partition only along the size the SSD one, and I can't find away to get this missing partition or even reuse the remaining "200 GB" space. Thanks in advance. Here is the real space of the 1st HDD partition (Main)

Here is the shown space in "Diks"

Edited: Here when I used lsblk, you can find the sda3 read as 1TB, but I only able to see 800gb of it. (The problem is with the sda not the sdb)

lsblk

  • LDM is Windows proprietary dynamic partitions. Something like LVM is in Linux. Windows does not have a way to convert back to standard partitions. But third party Windows tools may work but you must have good backups. https://askubuntu.com/questions/482768/changing-windows-dynamic-disk-partition-to-basic-partition-and-not-the-full-driv You may be able to mount & read the data: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/ldmtool.1.html – oldfred Jun 26 '22 at 13:52
  • For me your question is not clear. You are searching partitions? Well open a terminal and type lsblk this will list all disks and drives and their partitions. Edit you question and append the output pls. From your pictures I can count several partitions. If you want to get a better visual overview of you disks I suggest to use sudo partitionmanager or sudo gparted but pls before starting to reformat, move, or expand partitions with those tools, update you question and add some info – AlexOnLinux Jun 27 '22 at 05:49
  • @AlexOnLinux I have 2 Disks, 512GB SSD & 1TB HDD, I had 2 partition for the ssd on windows (200gb, 300gb), and 2 partition for the hdd as well (800gb, 200gb), now after installilng ubuntu everything on the ssd is working fine, but for the hdd one I only see 1 partition (800GB) of the 2 partitions, so there is a entire 200gb partition that I can't find. I'll my question now – Suhail Mahmoud Jun 27 '22 at 10:25
  • might it be the case that windows (10) locked the partition? Have alook at this explanation, perhaps it helps: https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-fix-unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation-on-ubuntudebian-and-kali-linux/ and https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/No-disk-Cant-s-see-disk-from-Linux-Boot-Live-Can-t-install/m-p/7183481/highlight/true#M565729 – AlexOnLinux Jun 27 '22 at 10:30
  • I don't think it's the same problem here, bc I not even able to locate the partition to try to mount it, plus linux already read the hdd disk and I have already mounted the 800gb partition correctly and it works fine, but the the other one I can't find or even use the 200gb lost space – Suhail Mahmoud Jun 27 '22 at 11:06
