Open elevated Command Prompt by hitting **Win+R > cmd > Ctrl+Shift+Enter > Yes**.
## Using DiskPart
Type in `diskpart` and hit Enter.
Next, enter `list vol`. It will list all drives and partitions.
Note the volume number of the desired partition and enter `sel vol <volume number>`.
### Mount
Assign it a drive letter currently not in use. It can be done by entering `assign letter = <letter>`. If you see **DiskPart assigned the drive letter or mount point**, then the partition mounted successfully.

Leave diskpart by typing `exit`. Now you can use it as normal from File Explorer. Enter `start <letter>:` to open the partition in File Explorer. Do not forget the colon (:).
### Unmount
Enter `remove letter = <letter>` in diskpart. If you get **DiskPart successfully removed the drive letter or mount point**, then it unmounted successfully.
## Using mountvol
### Mount
Enter `mountvol`. It will list all connected volumes with their UUID. Copy the UUID and mount it to a mount point by entering `mounvol <mount point> <UUID>`. Now you should be able to open it as normal from File Explorer. To do it, enter `start <mount point>`.

### Unmount
Enter `mountvol <mount point> /P`. It should unmount the partition.
## Next Step
Take care.
