Adding an existing HDD to Proxmox

[moldytexas]

You said and can see that the drive is partitioned with NTFS, but you are trying to mount it as EXT4 - a different filesystem type.
Plug this into google "mount ntfs linux"
example: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/mount-ntfs-linux

or "proxmox mount ntfs":

Hey, thanks for the help, got the mounting thing sorted. But I can't seem to manage how to make this rive visible on a VM. I have a ubuntu instance running, but the drives don't show up there.

Then you shouldn't mount it in PVE or you will corrupt the data on it.
Instead pass that disk through and mount it in your ubuntu: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Passthrough_Physical_Disk_to_Virtual_Machine_(VM)

I am guessing here, but it sounds like you want to pass-through the disk to the VM. That means you have to unmount it from the hypervisor and follow one of the many pass-through guides, and then mount it _inside_ the VM.

@Dunuin & @bbgeek17 perfect, thank you an absolute crap-ton.
I just started exploring proxmox today, and mostly a newbie into all of this. Therefore the basic-level questions.

Do you have a backup of the /etc/pve/lxc folder of the PVE system disks or an old PBS/VZDump backup of these LXCs? Otherwise you only got the filesystem of the LXCs on that disk but not the configs that define your LXCs.
