Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
When Thunar attempts to mount the drive I get the following error message:
I have already run chkdisk on a Windows computer on the drive (without checking for bad sectors).
At this point I am able to mount it manually and browse the files using
mount /dev/sdd2 ./mnt
However, I would like to restore the capability of Thunar to mount it automatically.
I should also mention that /dev/sde is a NTFS formatted USB stick which mounts fine in Thunar so it appears to be an issue with this specific drive, not NTFS in general.
