Mount
Find the drive that isn't mounted on the left hand sidebar in the Dolphin file explorer, hover your mouse over it and copy the /dev/sdX part from the small pop up.
For the NTFS3 driver (default, faster, less stable)
mount -t ntfs3 /dev/sdX /mnt/FolderNameHere
For the NTFS-3G driver (slightly slower, far more stable)
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdX /mnt/FolderNameHere
Repair
Example error messages found in dmesg/journalctl
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
