External hard drive can not be mounted in Q4OS Andromeda

Hello! After upgrading Q4OS from Gemini to Andromeda I can no longer mount my external hard drive via USB; it shows up in Dolphin but is not possible to mount. USB memory sticks mount and work as expected. The hard drive works well in Debian and Windows.

Are you able to reproduce the issue, within the live Q4OS 6 Andromeda media?

When I mounted the drive in Windows this morning I got a notice from the operating system that there is a problem with the drive. Windows adviced me to let it scan and repair the drive. I did so and now it can be mounted and used also in Q4OS Andromeda.
