Thank you stevef, for your reply.
Yes I was aware NTFS is supported by Linux, have been using it for years. This is the first time I have encountered a problem.
Just to clarify, this drive has 2 partitions ext4 which does laod no problem, and the NTFS partition which always loads on other Linux distributions is only failing here.
