On the back of this question: How do I use 'chmod' on an NTFS (or FAT32) partition? I can't mount my external drive. I tried both:

/dev/disk/sdd1

and

/dev/disk/by-label/Newx20Volume

which is what is what it says in the folder.

Full command tried:

sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0022,dmask=0000,exec /dev/disk/sdd1 /mnt/NwVol

Usually, it's /dev/sdd1, not /dev/disk/sdd1. And spaces in names aren't usually replaced by hex codes, but just escaped or quoted: /dev/disk/by-label/New\ Volume or "/dev/disk/by-label/New Volume". Just use Tab completion to help you out:

sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0022,dmask=0000,exec /dev/sd<tab> /mnt/NwVol
sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0022,dmask=0000,exec /dev/disk/by-label/New<tab> /mnt/NwVol

Press Tab at the indicated points while typing the commands and the shell will try to complete the path for you.
