Hello there, I am a new user of Zorin OS or any Linux system.
I don't even know how Linux work.
Now I am facing a problem.
I have two internal storage devices 120GB SSD and a 1TB HDD.
Now I have installed the Zorin in the 120GB SSD, i use the ssd only for the OS.
So I didn't create or delete any partition manually, I just erased the SSD and install the OS.
Now my HDD has windows 10 partitions and Like D drive E drive and all, and have so many important data.
Now how can I use my HDD without loosing my data?
Please help?
Partitioning- GUID Partition Table
Partition Type- Microsoft LDM Metadata, Microsoft Reserve and Microsoft Data (Three partitions I created in windows 10).
Content- Unknown
Ntfs3g should read that even with a ldm partition, unless it has bitlocker enabled. Can you can boot into windows and check to see if bitlocker is enabled for your drive/OS
I just used my Hard disk in windows 7 device, its shows Dynamic foreign disk and if I click on option its shows Mount Disk, after clicking that the disk can easily access from windows with all the existing data.
Use Zorin live usb, and launch the disk utility and manually clean all partition info on the drive (all data will be lost). Then apply. Then run setup and you should be all set.
Issue is not being GPT Zorin Linux / Windows they can handle GPT partitions if I read your comment above correctly Windows 7 said that it was foreign media and it's not getting mounted correctly in windows or linux either that's telling me that something like BitLocker or secureboot is obfuscateing the data.
Do you have another drive that's large enough that you could do testdisk and see if a file recovery will pull the data off?
