How to mount a windows drive in ubuntu

Question

We have a Windows Dell Server with a corrupt RAID array. We ran Ubuntu from a USB stick and managed to copy some files from the C drive, but the D drive (DATA) we cant mount or access, I guess its to corrupt to do that, but are there any way to come around this problem , we are not precisely Ubuntu experts, we just are trying to save a couple of files that where locked in the previous back up. Any help is very appreciated!

Check the name of the partition:

sudo fdisk -l

If the name of the windows ntfs partition is for example sda3:

sudo mkdir /media/OS 
sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sda3 /media/OS

You need to disable fast boot in windows as well – Panther Sep 03 '18 at 19:45

Thank you, but I cant access Windows on it, all I need to do is copy files but I cant access the drive at all, I cant mount it either. I can see the drive , its in NTFS, maybe that got something to do with it? – Jeppe Johansson Sep 03 '18 at 21:19

Edited my answer. To mount ntfs you need to add some things. – An0n Sep 03 '18 at 21:26

For Ubuntu 18.10:

First install cifs-utils using:
```
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
```
Now run following command:
```
sudo mount -t cifs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/network-drive-folder /mnt -o username=testuser,vers=1.0
```
Here, my source (to be mounted) is - //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/network-drive-folder and destination (where it is to be mounted) is /mnt (system provided mounting point).
testuser is a username which has access to windows network drive. And last but very crucial vers=1.0. For someone vers=2.0 or vers=3.0 also work as per system stack.
