ntfs problem

Asked by vinogans

I installed ubuntu 7.04 it can read ntfs but i cant write any thing i tried the tool ntfs -config and i got this error with it Mounting /media/hda5 failed.

$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/disk/by-uuid/7E70C05470C014B5': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean. Choose one action:
   Boot Windows and shutdown it cleanly, or if you have a removable
   device then click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
   taskbar notification area before disconnecting it.
Or
   Run ntfsfix version 1.13.1 on Linux unless you have Vista.
Or
   Mount the NTFS volume with the 'ro' option in read-only mode.

this is because you did not shut down your windows partition properly. you either need to run ntfsfix on the partition or boot into windows and then do a clean shutdown before booting back into ubuntu.

Hello, I had the same expirience. Or rather still have. I checked my NTFS partion with chdsk of Windows XP and found no errors. Still I cannot mount the drive.

Using Disk Manager 1.0.1, I still get the error message:

$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/hda1': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:

Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by
          clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
          taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.

Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
          your own responsibility. For example type on the command line:

            mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 -o force

    Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file:

            /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0

settings: defaults,nls=utf8,umask=0222

Any ideas?
