I've set up samba and everything works whenever I share folders that are in my /home directory, but when I try sharing an entire NTFS partition I get access denied on my windows 10 machine. I've tried giving myself ownership over the partition like it is detailed here: How do I share a folder on a NTFS partition over the network? yet I still can't access the partition from my windows computer. The partition is located on an external disk connected via USB, don't know if that matters.

@Morbius1's comment above works.

If your NTFS partition is mounted under /media/USERNAME/SOME_NAME, than add to /etc/samba/smb.conf under the [global] section the next line:

force user = USERNAME
