My WD G-Drive connects to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but receives the error Error Mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/ on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. G-Drive is connected to same port regardless of Distro but 22.04 is running on a separate external NVME whereas 24.04 is running on a partition with Dual boot Internal with W11.

This is a known bug on Ubuntu 24.04.
No solution so far: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/2062972

Had the same issue - my /dev/sda2 was not mounting and this worked for me:

First create your mounting point (for me this is in /media/user directory) and then mount the partition:
sudo mkdir DATA
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/user/DATA/
