I guess, most people ask: 'How can I mount my NTFS drive on my Mac / Linux PC?!' Well, my issue is quite the opposite. I have Windows 10 installed on a 256GB large SSD (sda) and Arch Linux on another 256GB large SSD (sdb). On my Linux drive, I had some GB unpartitioned space left that I recently partitioned as NTFS using Tuxera's NTFS-3G package. The idea behind this was, that I have a shared, organized partition on my PC, where I can store files that I need both on Arch Linux and Windows. On Arch Linux, I can mount and use the NTFS partition without any issues. On Windows, however, I'm not able to mount it.
Windows Disk Management lists it as part of the device (partition #4 on sdb), but it doesn't give me any option to hook it up. I can't access it. Is there any solution to this issue? How can I mount this partition on Windows?
I'm afraid, that, if I delete that partition and try to format it as a 'regular' NTFS drive using Windows' own tools, it'll mess up my boot partition at the beginning of this drive (sdb). I really want to avoid fixing partition / boot issues or even repartitioning my Linux drive. PS: I'm aware that this forum is technically not the right place for my question, but since there is no Windows-related support forum. Fri Aug 05, 2016 00:03.

When it comes to the question of how to partition a hard drive Windows 10, there is a free tool that the operating system comes with. This is known as Disk Management which is quite useful and helps users to partition hard disk drives without the need to reboot the computer.
Hi jpa, thanks for your reply! Since my drive is GPT-formated, I'll use gdisk instead of fdisk. So I'm going to change my partition type code from 8300 (Linux filesystem) to 0700 (Microsoft basic data) on my partition /dev/sdb4.
When I try to save this ('write table to disk and exit' in gdisk), it says: 'Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING PARTITIONS!!' Please don't tell me that this will overwrite my whole drive or damage files on my other partitions (sdb1 - sdb3).
