Trouble with disk mounting

[walksanatora]

so I am trying to mount my linux partition
but when I get

The disk is in use or locked by another process.
Error code: Wsl/Service/AttachDisk/0x8007006c

when I check wmic partition list brief I see

BootPartition  Index  Name                   NumberOfBlocks  PrimaryPartition  Size
FALSE          0      Disk #1, Partition #0  244240384       TRUE              125051076608
TRUE           0      Disk #0, Partition #0  1046528         TRUE              535822336
FALSE          1      Disk #0, Partition #1  2048            FALSE             1048576
FALSE          2      Disk #0, Partition #2  1952473088      FALSE             999666221056

but Disk 0 Partition 1 should not be the boot drive as that is where GRUB is but i booted directly using the device selector
should I try changing it in the BIOS and then rebooting? nope that did not fix it, it is still labeled as boot partition despite never touching grub during the boot process

Make sure to set the disk offline via diskmgmt.msc or diskpart:

Offline/online a disk with CMD:

1-Start > Type CMD > Right-click on it and Run as administrator
2-Type this command: diskpart and hit enter
3-Type this command: list disk and hit enter
4-Type this command: select disk 0 or 1 (select the disk that you want to be offline) and hit enter
5- Type this command: Offline or Online disk and hit enter.

Then from an elevated CMD/powershell run wsl --mount --bare \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0
