I have an issue trying to use some internal HDD in a new Qubes R3.2 install. The machine was previously Windows, so the HDD were NTFS formatted, and they contain various work and backup data. Qubes is on its own SSD.
Initially Qubes could not see the drives from dom0, so I couldn't attach them to appVMs. I looked around some forum posts and found someone suggesting the use of: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 Running that on the drives from dom0 allowed me to see the drives and manipulate their contents on Fedora and Debian based VMs. However, if I try to attach these same drives to a Windows 7 or Windows 10 HVM, Windows tells me it needs to format the drives to see them. (I'm attaching them through VM settings | Advanced | Additional drive with the backend domain dom0 and the path /dev/sdb) Formatting the drives isn't an option as I have data on them. If I run fsck on the volumes from dom0 it tells me they are dirty, but I can still access the files without issue (outside Windows), but I don't think it's a hardware issue. I would like to be able to access these drives from both Windows and Linux (via Qubes). Any ideas of how I could proceed? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
