I would check if you have the ntfs support installed. rpm -qa | grep ntfs
Should have the ntfs-3g installed, probable don't need ntfsprogs, but I use them.
I have used gparted on linux to redo disks on many occassiions dnf install gparted.
Had a student that had a large disk that was somehow formated to mac format, so ended up using gparted to make the disk half mac/ half ntfs so she could save files from both systems and use options that Fat32 don't support.
Would be interest to see how gparted sees the existing format, since ntfs should not be a problem if you have ntfs-3g installed?

Everyone,
I just purchased 3 WD My Passport Ultra 3T usb drives that I had hoped to use for archive files for some digital images.
Looks like WD has made it difficult to use for Linux. The google searches that I did stepped me through mounting it on a Windows 10 system and then formatting it with nts. Unfortuantely, when I tried to connect it to Fedora 24 I am still not able to recognize it to mount it. All of the /dev/sd* entries were the same before and after I plugged it in. Smartmontools appears to recognize it when it is plugged in a usb port, but pauses and does not finish its execution to completion. gparted scans all devices and does not finish when the drive is plugged in a usb port.
Has anyone in the group figured out how to use these drives?
Thanks for you help!!!!
