A while ago, I found out that I could not use my 2TB type 07 (NTFS) USB disk when connected to a computer with a Windows boot.
Disk had only one partition.
However, I could mount and use it under Ubuntu. So, I went on to do a fsck for NTFS under Ubuntu. It said that there were errors on the disk and that the MBR was written. It advised me to run CHKDSK /F under Windows. This operation made the disk unusable under Ubuntu, too.
When I went on to go and run Gnome Disk Utility to find out what's going on with the disk, I've seen that it listed 5 volumes, Free - Unknown - Unknown - Free - Free, respectively.
I'd like to note that Windows reports these "Unknown" partitions as "healthy."
