Unable to Mount external HD after update

You should be able to change ownership via the chown command:
sudo chown -R user;group /path-to-drive

Example:
sudo chown -R user;group /dev/sda

Shouldn’t you use a colon (:) instead of a semicolon (;)?

I stuck in a flash drive and looked at the permissions and it looked exactly the same as this and I could get to the files, etc. on that drive.

I did change the permissions to me but that didn’t seem to work. I changed it to root to look like the other drive that I was testing. Still nothing.

/dev/sdb1 is your block device. What does ls -l show on its mountpoint?

Example:

➜  ~ lsblk
NAME          MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINTS
sda             8:0    0 465,8G  0 disk  
└─sda1          8:1    0 465,8G  0 part  /mnt/ssdsata

<snip>

➜  ~ ls -l /dev/sda1                      
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 1 lip  27 16:13 /dev/sda1

➜  ~ ls -l /mnt/ssdsata
total 24
drwxrwsr-x+ 2 bifutake adminstorage 16384 ožu   6 00:38 lost+found

If it’s root, you should change it to your username:

sudo chown -R user:group /path_to_your_mountpoint

If you want to leave your group as is, just leave it blank after a colon:

sudo chown -R user: /path_to_your_mountpoint

Put your username instead of user, of course.
