I noticed that two of my hard drives (sdb1 and sda1) have mount points when I check with the 'lsblk' command on Linux, but my main drive (nvme0n1) doesn't have one. This drive has about 900GB of data on it, and I can't access the files. I found some information online about using the command 'sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/nvme01/ [directory I created]' to mount the drive and access the files. However, I'm new to Linux and not very tech-savvy, so I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is a good way to go about it.

It sounds like your NVMe drive might contain data from a Windows installation. That command you mentioned is generally correct for mounting an NTFS formatted drive, but be sure you have the right device name. Also, the ntfs-3g driver may not be installed by default. If you just need read access, you can use '-t ntfs' for the built-in driver. Just a heads up!
Yes, my nvme01 was always Windows, but it stopped booting last week, which is why I switched to Linux Mint.
