I just finished installing Ubuntu as a dual boot with windows 10 on my system. As a part of the process, I partitioned off 100 gb of space for it on one of my hard drives.
When I start ubuntu, I see my other drives in the taskbar. They're there, but they're separate. My example of this is when I was using vscode. I was trying to access a project on one of my other drives, but I could only access the prepartitioned space. That was until I opened the drives from my taskbar. After I opened the drive, vscode could "see" it to load my project.
What is going on here and is there a way to skip me having to click on the drive before ubuntu can access it?
