Linux may be unable to mount NTFS disks as R/W due to NTFS specific markers used for Windows proprietary features such a fast start up, security control, encryption etc.
I don't have the same hardware but as an experiment just formatted a couple of disks as NTFS on a Win10 machine and was able to mount them as RW on Linux Lite 5.8 and 6.6 systems without any problem. This doesn't help except it shows that it can work.Edit - Topic moved to Hard Drive and SSD section
Linux Lite 4.4 is unsupported since April 2023 so this is really only general advice.Never used Windows 7 or 8, so can't comment on specifics.NTFS is Microsoft proprietary and Windows can leave NTFS disks in a state that prevents them being writable by other OS.Do you actually need the 2GB disk to be NTFS ?
