I can't seem to get it (bash) to access my F drive

In the Windows Linux subsystem your drives are mounted to /mnt.

So to change to drive F use the following command:

cd /mnt/f

If it is a removable drive, you may have to also mount it first:

In order to mount a Windows drive using DrvFs, you can use the regular Linux mount command. For example, to mount a removable drive D: as /mnt/d directory, run the following commands:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/d $ sudo mount -t drvfs D: /mnt/d

Now, you will be able to access the files of your D: drive under /mnt/d. When you wish to unmount the drive, for example so you can safely remove it, run the following command:

$ sudo umount /mnt/d
