I bought a laptop with windows 11 and installed arch linux on it. The laptop has 3 internal 500GB SSDs. Two of them are in a RAID configuration to make a single 1TB partition which Windows came installed on. I installed Arch on the empty third SSD.
UEFI settings/BIOS recognizes all drives and I can easily boot into both Windows and Arch by changing the boot priority from the settings boot menu. Windows also recognizes the linux drive and filesystem.
I'm trying to add Windows to GRUB so I don't have to go into BIOS settings every time I want to switch, but for some reason my linux system isn't recognizing the windows filesystem, and fdisk doesn't even seem to recognize the drive at all.
Running lsblk gives me this:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 1 0B 0 disk
zram0 254:0 0 4G 0 disk [SWAP]
nvme0n1 259:0 0 476.9G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 511M 0 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 476.4G 0 part /
Nvme0n1 is my linux drive and I think sda is the windows drive but it doesn't see the filestructure or size and isn't mountable.
fdisk -l gives this:

Secureboot is off and both windows and arch are installed with modern UEFI, not legacy bios. The fact that I can boot into both systems and Windows has not problem seeing the Linux drive makes me think it must not be a hardware issue like a bad cord or connection or whatever. Anyone know what the problem might be?
