Unable to access video files in disk formated by and used by, windows 10

Greetings noble penguins. I have video files I have downloaded using windows 10 to a internal disk that neither of my two OS are on. I cannot manage to open the disk with ubuntu 20.04 which I installed on a dual boot with windows.

I have seen advice on opening the terminal and entering commands to mount the disk but still cannot find the files after doing so. If you can't tell, I am generally clueless as to what these commands do but have avoided doing anything with warnings. I have also tried an boot-repair-disk iso on a USB. It claimed to fix things but my internal 5TB disk with video files still eludes me, though it works with Windows 10. I will run it again if you want the system diagnosis, it offers. The below is the output of: sudo parted -l

If you run `sudo blkid` and look at the TYPE for that drive, what does it say the TYPE is?

Terrance - the response gave TYPES for others but not for the partitions or whatever GParted said was on the drive in question: /dev/sda1 & /dev/sda2 . Here is what is responded for the drive in question: /dev/sda1: UUID="EA93-EF55" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI system partition" PARTUUID="e9e537fd-5361-4597-8964-630de07d6d6f" /dev/sda2: PARTLABEL="Microsoft reserved partition" PARTUUID="9b69eb05-6d6b-44fd-8d65-ffb74f5be3e9"

Also make sure that in Windows that you have Fast Startup disabled in Windows as that can leave a hiberfile.sys file on the drive making it so that Ubuntu cannot mount the drive as it keeps the drive open.

What is the output of `sudo parted -l`? Please add that to your question. It will show all the partitions and what they are formatted to.

Thank you Terrance. Checked and Fast Boot and Secure Boot are still disabled in Bios.

The "Fast Startup" mentioned earlier is a Windows power option (buried under advanced options....) not a BIOS option. The BIOS option is just a timer on a delay to allow you to hit a function key at power-up.

It looks like it is a Dynamic disk. Probably going to need the ldmtool to mount it. https://askubuntu.com/questions/869770/how-to-mount-dynamic-disks-partition-on-ubuntu

ubfan1 clarified "Fast Startup" and I had it still enabled. I disabled it.

ubfan1 clarified "Fast Startup" and I had it still enabled. I disabled it. As per Terrance, I went to link and followed instructions to give terminal 1. sudo apt-get install ldmtool (check). 2. Find the uuid of your dynamic disk, you can do this with "sudo blkid" 3. ldmtool create volume <uuid> <volume-name> ...This is where I had problems, I removed the "<>" and entered what I thought was the volume name but got back: No such disk group: 75993383-5253-415f-b503-161c2951e4b4 I presume I misidentified what I was supposed to enter?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
