I have two local disks on my Windows 10 OS, C:/ and W:/ (w:/ is an NTFS partition of my C: drive). I start up Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, and under /mnt/ I only see one directory, /mnt/c. Following this question on mounting an ntfs USB drive, when I try to mount the drive using sudo mount -t drvfs W: w, the following error occurs:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on W:,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

How do I go about resolving this error? Most questions I see relating to this say that the partition should have automatically come up in /mnt, so why would this situation be different?
