I was moving my files from my old dual boot machine to a new one, so I plugged my old hard drive into my external drive and pulled the windows files from it using Windows 8.1. Big mistake. I found this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/38260...locking-ubuntu that states :

By the way... Being unable to reach Ubuntu doesn't mean you can't reach its partitions from Windows. However, you need to assign them a letter and access path using the Windows disk management utility
Since I won't be booting from that drive again, all I need to do is grab my files. However, I am completely unclear about how to assign the letter and path and I don't want to mess up the drive further. Could someone point me to a walk through on how that is done, or give me the steps on how to do it, please?

Thanks so much,
