I have a Lenovo T430 running Mint 19 and a Windows 7 HDD in the ExtraBay


I can read the Win 7 drive, so how do I run that Windows drive?
Do I access it through the Linux Mint, or ???
It is the original drive from this laptop that I picked up on the BC Auction.
I replaced that original drive with an SSD that I had Mint 19 on, then installed the Win HDD into the Extrabay. There are some Ham Radio programs written for Windows that haven't been ported to Linux.

Run update-grub and see if Win7 appears in the grub menu.

Your earlier post shows a windows entry in the update-grub so what happened? Have you been able to boot windows since then? Did it not work/boot at all? What changed? Did you install windows 7 on this drive recently or was it on the drive and you changed it's location? Your post has too little information for anyone to help.

check your connection to that drive..
not a permanent fix, but you can see if supergrub2 burned to a usb stick you do not need at the moment, use that to boot from and have it search your hdds to see if it will pick it up and boot into it to see if windows still works. then you can go from there.

Code:
lsblk #get drive addy
sudo mount /dev/sdXx /mnt #any mount point actually
or what do you mean you cannot mount the drive, what have you tried?
