I completely removed Windows and installed Linux today and now I can't access D:\ . I get that it has something to do with windows partitioning but I can't figure out what to do without removing the sensitive data I got on there. I can't see my D:\ drive in file explorer but I can see it in Gparted. Gparted says that sdb1 is "damaged or unknown to GParted, etc" and sdb2 is working as usual as NTFS.

How do I access my data without removing it on Linux?

Open the File Browser and you should see the drive listed in the left menu:

Once you click it the drive will mount. It works for NTFS drives out of the box you don't need to install anything.

The only reason I can think it wouldn't work is if your NTFS drive has been marked as "needs to be checked" by Windows, which is a bit more complex of an issue. You can fix that by booting into windows or running the ntfsfix command (see this question).
