It took me quite some time to find this page. Morbius1/Nmax solution worked like a charm. Thanks a million!!
------------------------------------ History : Instead of doing a fresh install I clicked the upgrade-button for the upgrade from Kubuntu 22.04 to 24.04. One of the several bugs I encountered was no longer being able to access my external hard drives. Using a Start up Disk to access the HDDs did not work either. Error message in all cases : Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /media/{username}/Seagate Expansion Drive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error These NTFS-HDDs were however still accessible on my laptop under Kubuntu 22.04. So 24.04 had to be the culprit.
