101955 Bennu is a carbonaceous asteroid in the Apollo group discovered by the LINEAR Project on 11 September 1999. It is a potentially hazardous object that is listed on the Sentry Risk Table and tied for the highest cumulative rating on the Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale. It has a cumulative 1-in-1,800 chance of impacting Earth between 2178 and 2290 with the greatest risk being on 24 September 2182. It is named after the Bennu, the ancient Egyptian mythological bird associated with the Sun, creation, and rebirth.
101955 Bennu has a mean diameter of 490 m (1,610 ft; 0.30 mi) and has been observed extensively with the Arecibo Observatory planetary radar and the Goldstone Deep Space Network. Bennu was the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission which is intended to return its samples to Earth in 2023 for further study. On 3 December 2018, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft arrived at Bennu after a two-year journey. It orbited the asteroid and mapped out Bennu's surface in detail, seeking potential sample collection sites. Analysis of the orbits allowed calculation of Bennu's mass and its distribution.
On 18 June 2019, NASA announced that the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft had closed in and captured an image from a distance of 600 metres (2,000 ft) from Bennu's surface. In October 2020, OSIRIS-REx successfully touched down on the surface of Bennu, collected a sample using an extendable arm, secured the sample and prepared for a return trip to Earth. On 10 May 2021, OSIRIS-REx successfully completed its departure from the Bennu asteroid while still carrying the sample of the asteroid rubble.
Astrometric observations between 1999 and 2013 have demonstrated that 101955 Bennu is influenced by the Yarkovsky effect, causing the semimajor axis of its orbit to drift on average by 284±1.5 meters/year. Analysis of the gravitational and thermal effects has given a bulk density of ρ = 1190±13 kg/m3, which is only slightly denser than water. Therefore, the predicted macroporosity is 40±10%, suggesting the interior has a rubble pile structure or even hollows. The estimated mass is (7.329±0.009)×1010 kg.

Assuming the drive is not busted and what happened is the windows installation somehow got corrupted or something and you can in fact access the files on the drive.
You might not be able to access it because of secure boot. You can turn it off on the bios (don't remember the exact option). However there's also an option to turn secure boot off on windows and I think both need to be turned off to access files on that drive from another OS. Not sure though.
the weird thing is that in Ubuntu i can mount the SSD which is the one with the problem and the Windows installation. the hard drive should be fine in theory but i'm not being able to mount it. i can actually go into Windows every few boot attempts but it generally crashes in 10 minutes or so, so i wouldn't be able to backup my files.
would secure boot be interfering with my hard drive even if it isn't the one with the windows installation?
greatly appreciate the reply!
I haven't had secure boot enabled in a long time but if I recall correctly you can still mount the partition windows has locked, you just can't access any files.
And secure boot might affect other partitions other than the specific partition/drive where windows is actually installed, such as data partitions.
