SSHD Not getting recognized

I'm running a dual OS on my first PC build. Initially bought only an SSHD (Seagate ST1000DX001), installed Ubuntu 16.04 on it. Recently upgraded to a 256 GB SSD and put Windows 10 on it. Now the issue is that my Linux OS can see the SSD, but the Windows OS can't see the SSHD. What should I do?

Depends where you're not seeing it from. If you can see it from disk management then it is probably just not formatted. Though I don't know why you'd want windows to be able to see it, because you format it for windows then it'll kill your linux, and if you take part of it and format that part as ntfs then you've just shrunk the linux partition and possibly lost data.

Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common!

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

I can't make enough sense of this :P but the first 4 drives seems to be the SSHD

If you have ubuntu on the 1TB drive, then you can't mount it in windows unless you get a third parts app to mount ext4. In linux, you can mount the c drive like any other hdd, but you can't exectue from it.

I don't have too much data on the drive, though. Wouldn't be the end of the world. I do want to shrink the Linux Partition down to like 250 GB.
Yeah, I know, should've thought this one through a lot better. Good to learn from my mistakes, I guess

yes, Ubuntu is on the 1TB SSHD. What's ext4? (please excuse my incompetence)

Okay, do you know of any reliable third party apps for this?
I want to create a partition of approx. 700 GB and use that with the Windows OS.

Is the format type EXT4 for the SSHD, if it is you need to reformat it to NTFS

ext4 is the file system

 

Id shrink that to about 100gb, then make a partition with ntfs that they can share.

Okay can you run me through the process?
 

boot into a linux live disk, shrink the partition in gparted or your favorite partition editor, make a new partition, then make a ntfs partition.
