I have a windows 10 HD and I have it in an external USB dock, but the files on it can't seem to be read
the drive gets mounted to /home and the files can't be read
getting mounted to home as a windows drive deems odd
how can I fix this so I can fix the mount and read the files?
windows files can't be read

Re: windows files can't be read
Try this:
Check for your file in /mnt
sudo umount /dev/sdb4
then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=111 /dev/sdb4 /mnt
Check for your file in /mnt
