The partitions won't open.

[oblique pilot]

Hello, I'm a new Linux Mint user and I have two hard drives. I installed Linux Mint on one of them, and the other is for data. The hard drive containing the data only has two partitions open; the rest are not.

[echo frost]

what does it say on Disks?

The picture is in front of you

He means the application called Disks, you are just showing how it looks in Nemo (the file manager).

[oblique pilot]

ok

[echo frost]

that's a lot of partitions.

did you make all those?

you can reformat from the app if you want to make it a single accessible partition but you will lose the data.

[oblique pilot]

I want to arrange it like this

I just want a solution to the problem.

NTFS is prone to errors on Linux, since it is a MS filesystem made for Windows. keep that in mind

click partition 1 and the play button under the layout diagram

if gives issue, click the gear, and do 'repair filesystem'

then click play button after all that

[oblique pilot]

I don't want to delete the data because it's important.

@harsh grove Can you run the AnyDisk program? That would be better.

[harsh grove]

idk anything about that one.

do you have Windows as a dualboot on this computer? @oblique pilot

if so, get the drive letter for that exact partition

[oblique pilot]

no

[harsh grove]

let's say it's drive A:
then do chkdsk a: /f

u can do this from hirens boot cd.

[harsh grove]

use chkdsk from hirens

see both links. dont bother adding /r to it as Tommy says, that's for surface scan and takes quite long

[oblique pilot]

what this?

[harsh grove]

it's a boot CD/USB

with powershell and tons of other tools.

Brother, I'll contact the AI. Thank you. These things are very complicated. If I can't resolve them with the AI, I'll get back to you.
