Maybe you need to edit fstab
Is it internal?

Post the result of this from su terminal

fdisk -l

Identify the partition from this output please.

and

cat /etc/fstab

Partition table entries are not in disk order

the storage partition is /dev/sda6

I only changed the one partition, I think that’s the right one. If you want R/W access to the other ntfs, then the same should be done. Reboot when you have done the changes.

Thanks!
