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.

Look for the /dev/sdX or /dev/nvmeX information here

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
please run chkntfs
