I shrunk D drive from parted from arch-iso carelessly
I am not able to access the D drive anymore as windows says it must be formatted before it can be used.
I can boot into windows on the c drive
I also just figured those drives were bitlocker partitions when i checked them using gparted from arch

update: When I check the bitlocker settings in windows or right click on the drives I get the option "Turn on bitlocker" which probably indicates my drives aren't encrypted

#

but the blkid still shows it is TYPE="BitLocker". mount.ntfs doesn't work on it either.
