Hard drives have filesystems that are created on the drive.
Many UNIX kernels, linux for example, allow you to compile drivers that support many different filesystems. Others, do not.
Windows for example, only allow you to mount (is mount the right words in Windows??) file systems that are exactly what MS wants you to mount. This certainly does not include all the myriad of file systems that some UNIX systems allow you to mount.
Linux and many other UNIX kernals, support all the Windows file systems. For example, many Linux users mount many kinds of filesystems, including MS filesystems, such as VFAT, etc.
The questions that need to be answered are pretty straight forward:
(1) What is the MS filesystem you have?
(2) What is the UNIX filesystem you have?
(3) What is the OS you have?
When you answer these questions, it is possible to provide more detailed technical answer.

AUTOFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual AUTOFS(5)
NAME
autofs -- automounter filesystem
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in the kernel configuration file:
options AUTOFS
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
autofs_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The autofs driver is the kernel component of the automounter infrastructure. Its job is to pass mount requests to the automountd(8) daemon,
and pause the processes trying to access the automounted filesystem until the mount is completed. It is mounted by the automount(8).
OPTIONS
These options are available when mounting autofs file systems:
master_options
Mount options for all filesystems specified in the map entry.
master_prefix
Filesystem mountpoint prefix.
EXAMPLES
To unmount all mounted autofs filesystems:
umount -At autofs
To mount autofs filesystems specified in auto_master(5):
automount
SEE ALSO
auto_master(5), automount(8), automountd(8), autounmountd(8)
HISTORY
The autofs driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.1.
AUTHORS
The autofs was developed by Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz@FreeBSD.org> under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
