2 times I had problems with ntfs, and 2 times, ntfsfix cured the problem. ntfsfix may already be installed in terminal, if not.
sudo apt install ntfs-3g -y
Then you point the command to the ntfs drive.
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdX1 (sdX1 is a example, your drive should be found and entered in that place)
lsblk command will show you the drives.
As always, there are way more experienced users here than myself, I would wait for their input also.Comment

Problem mounting NTFS external drives is a known bug in 24.04.
Solution : blacklist the ntfs3 driver from running.
From command line :
echo 'blacklist ntfs3' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable-ntfs3.conf
Then reboot.

first thing i always do when something doesn't show up in dolphin is the Disks & Devices icon in the system tray.
go into configure and make sure the disks/partitions you want to see are checked... if they are not listed there, then that's a bigger problem and perhaps there is something wrong with the formatting.
you can try checking the file system from windows and do repairs if necessary, windows has better tools to keeping ntfs disks from going sideways, linux sort of assumes they are perfect.Comment
