Double checked and all of the drives are basic. I’m very confused as to what is different between the disks that readable and the ones that aren’t.

I’ve even tried multiple distros. Same scenario.

It was a good theory, but no luck. I’m perplexed on this one.

With the recent Microsoft garbage, I’m giving Linux another try. I’ve been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can’t read all of my um…?hard drives

A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can’t access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.

I’ve duck duck go’d (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven’t succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.

I’m lazy and burned out. I don’t want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.

If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)

Windows says they’re all NTFS.

Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?

I’m drooling at the thought.

Who would have thought that another merger would not lead to lower prices for the consumer? Break all these companies until there’s like 10.

I can’t fathom having the power to save our at least change millions of lives…but instead choose to leech more wealth from the people that need it most. And systematically make the world worse. It’s a sickness.

There are no good billionaires.
