    Are you intending mounting the whole drive or a partition? I'd normally expect to mount something like /dev/sdd1 rather than just /dev/sdd.

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. Why on Earth would you try to "NTFS fix" a whole drive instead of a partition? Moreover we are talking about a FAT partition... Please clarify what you are trying to do.
