Ever had a question about Linux but felt too afraid to ask? Well now’s your chance, ask any question about Linux, no matter how noob or repeated it is, and I and others will help answer them.

I think the disks could be Dynamic Disks on which it would not be a good idea to install a linux distro.
Unfortunately Microsoft’s own advice to change it to a basic disk (since it considers dynamic deprecated) WILL RESULT IN DATA LOSS.
Since you only want to access them it seem to be possible with ldmtool. While it is a cli tool there is a corresponding service that at least according to some askubuntu posts and arcwiki should make them behave like normal filesystems.
Double checked and all of the drives are basic. I’m very confused as to what is different between the disks that readable and the ones that aren’t.
I’ve even tried multiple distros. Same scenario.
