secondary hdd
I just installed bazzite and have a secondary hdd with some data on it, can I retrieve that data or will it be wiped clean if I mount it?

you can mount it, what format is the hdd?
ntfs
I don't really know how to mount it
what are you using kde or gnome
kde
it should appear in dolphin under devices section
if you press it, it should prompt for password
but it is not appearing there
sudo lsblk -f in terminal

you can access the drive in windows?
yes I could perfectly fine
do
rpm-ostree install libldm --apply-live then do ldmtool create allit says ldmtool command not found
Changed directories are not supported yet in the previous command
I also tried connecting an external drive and that works fine but not this one
yes because you are formatting it using windows dynamic disk
reboot first then
I see
done doing that command as well
just gave me a []
does the drive show up in dolphin?
nope
shows as this in the partition manager
try
ldmtool scan /dev/sda
