Thank you @darkpixlz. What type of disk are you trying to attach ?

Also, can you share the output of:

wmic diskdrive get Availability,Capabilities,CapabilityDescriptions,DeviceID,InterfaceType,MediaLoaded,MediaType,Model,Name,Partitions

?

[pyxfluff]

EXT4 disk. The output is:

Try running wsl --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 instead of wsl --mount //./PHYSICALDRIVE1.

Try running wsl --mount \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1 instead of wsl --mount //./PHYSICALDRIVE1.

Sorry, can't be bothered to boot into Windows right now. If somebody else wants to try they can.
