Can't mount internal drive in nautilus/nemo in WM

When I try to mount my windows HDD in bspwm both nautilus and nemo give me error "Not authorized to perform operation". But when I try to do it in gnome a verification window pops up, I insert my password and everything is fine. This wasn't an issue until the latest update. Can I do something so that the verification window would pop up in bspwm as well?

I've tried installing gksu and that didn't work.

I don't understand with why hdd needs verification to mount. What password do you use?
Something with disk permissions but what exactly?

The disk I'm trying to mount is a windows partition, so the file manager asks for my sudo password to mount it. But in bspwm the dialogbox for password does not appear.

Do you have dosfstools and ntfs-3g installed?
Did you try gvfs-mount?

I have both dosfstools and ntfs-3g installed
I have tried

gvfs-mount -d /dev/sda3

this command gives output "Not authorized to perform operation" and when I run it with sudo it outputs "No volume for device file /dev/sda3"
