Add formatted windows storage to Linux

[Enspist]

Hi,

 

I have done this before so I know it should be possible but its been a while so I forget. Currently I have 2 drives in my PC. 1x 1tb NVME drive and 1x 4tb NVME drive. my 4tb drive has my documents folder plus all of my game installations. I split my 1tb in half already so I can dual boot linux. How do I add the 2nd hard drive to linux so that the files are visible to both windows and linux without having to wipe and rebuild the entire drive?

 

Thanks,

Enspist

Should show out of the box, at most need you to manually mount it depending on distro. 

Might need to install packages again depending on distro and drive filesystem.

Gotcha. I did some quick research and realized I can probably going into /etc/fstab and then mount the partition that way. I realize that's what I do to be able to access my NAS system from my plex server. I was worried about losing the files but I don't think that should be an issue.
