My Windows 10 installation became corrupted and I couldn't repair it, so yesterday I installed Ubuntu 22.04.

However, I am unable to access a disk that was labeled "D" on Windows.

In the past, I've formatted Windows' C drive and the D drive was always safe and accessible. I thought if I installed Ubuntu where C was located, the data on D would be safe and it would not have been deleted. This is important data.

How do I access the files on this disk?

    @RishonJR Ubuntu has supported mounting/reading/writing NTFS natively for years now and 22.04 already has ntfs-3g installed. OP -- Drive letters like "C" and "D" are Windows designations and have nothing to do with the volume itself and these designations are irrelevant to Ubuntu, so if you're looking for "D" you're not going to find it. What happens exactly when you try to mount the drive? FYI, data that isn't backed up is never "safe", and "important" data that never gets backed up will eventually be lost, whether it's due to hardware failure or user error – Nmath Sep 16 '22 at 15:06
  • @mhbd2009 did you run a standard install or a minimum install? – Rishon_JR Sep 16 '22 at 15:53
  • One imagines you are trying to locate files on sdb2? If so, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029040/how-to-manually-mount-a-partition – user535733 Sep 16 '22 at 18:05
