I have a external HDD with four different partitions on it. 3 out of 4 of them work flawlessly. Two partitions are running the macOS Extended filesystem, one is running good old fat32, with the last one being NTFS. I don't particularly need it mounted in macOS as it contains a bootable copy of Windows 10, or at least it used to.
I figure if I can mount the partition again and repair it or at least make a backup of it, I can get it working as a bootable partition once more. Here's the kicker, I can pull the partition up if I mount the drive in Windows 10 using a virtual machine. So why won't macOS recognize it?

If you're using a third party software to mount NTFS portions on a mac like Paragon you need to go to system preferences - security & privacy - allow. Then choose your software to allow it access.
