I'm just getting started with Linux, and decided to dual boot Kubuntu 24.04 with my Windows 11 laptop. I am entirely unable to access any data on my D Drive via Kubuntu, while Windows is working perfectly fine. There don't seem to be any other issues with Kubuntu either.
In Dolphin I can work with the Kubuntu partition just fine, but the D drive (where all my data is stored) is not visible. The Windows system files are in C drive which I am not trying to touch at all. I know I should mount the partition into Kubuntu, but the instructions I found just say that it will be there on the left pane of the file manager (Dolphin) which is not the case for me.
In Dolphin, under the devices heading on the left pane, are two Basic data partitions which I assume are the C and D drives, but they are not opening. I get a window asking for a password which I don't know where to find. I tried entering my user's password, but that didn't work.
Some things I tried:
- Disabling Hibernate and Fast Startup in Windows
chkdskin Windows
I have a 1TB SSD running Windows 11
When I run lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL it's showing two drives with FSTYPE as BitLocker and no mount point. Is that the issue? I have Windows Home which doesn't have Bitlocker, so why is it showing this?
If I check filetype in Windows, the D drive shows NTFS.
