Can't see m.2 Windows drive in file manager

Asked by Dan Gillmor

Running 14.04.2, 4.0 kernel, on ThinkPad T440s, and can't see the m.2 Windows drive. It's definitely there (sdb2 according to fdisk -l; see below). Not sure how to make it visible in Nautilus.

When I run Disks the drive shows up as sdb and a partition as sdb1, but partition type is "unknown" --

Ideas?

$ sudo fdisk -l

Did you run a full chkdsk on the NTFS partition?

Yes, did chkdsk, and a full shutdown. Still not visible...

Can you help with this problem?
