root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1 /media/win
mount: /media/win: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'.

Please help. Thanks

Try `sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /media/win` instead.

This looks like your system is set up to use Intel RST RAID, which is extremely common nowadays in Windows systems when they're default installed from manufacturers - this is not compatible with Linux and is not mountable in Linux. You may have to change your Windows system's configuration and the BIOS of your system to AHCI compatibility and only use AHCI mode. Then you might be able to mount the disk.

I am unable to change the configuration in windows as it is corrupted.

Then the only option is to connect the device into a windows computer to see if Windows can read it. If not, then the Windows side of things is irrecoverable. Unfortunately, that's beyond the scope of Ask Ubuntu to assist you with.

Thanks for reply. I have seen an option of creating an img of my complete drive. If i take that image into a different laptop with windows then will i be able to access files? Thanks

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.
