How to mount a Microsoft Storage Space HDD to fresh Ubuntu installation

I have just upgraded my PC from Windows to Ubuntu, but am having some trouble accessing my HDD. The output of sudo fdisk -l is this:

Disk /dev/sdc: 931.53 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectorsDisk model: ST1000DM010-2EP1Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytesDisklabel type: gptDisk identifier: B5981591-89D5-11E7-81D5-1C1B0D9AFB0CDevice      Start        End    Sectors   Size Type/dev/sdc1      34     262177     262144   128M Microsoft reserved/dev/sdc2  264192 1953523711 1953259520 931.4G Microsoft Storage Spaces

I have added the following to my /etc/fstab file:

/dev/sdc2 /hdd ntfs defaults,noatime 0 2

and then when I run sudo mount /hdd, I get the following error:

NTFS signature is missing.Failed to mount '/dev/sdc2': Invalid argumentThe device '/dev/sdc2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of apartition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around

I do have a backup of the disk, but would prefer not to have to resort to that. Any idea how I can successfully mount this drive and access it?
