Error running ntfs-config

Terminal shows:-

frank@ubuntu:~$ gksudo ntfs-config
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ntfs-config", line 102, in <module>
    main(args, opts)
  File "/usr/bin/ntfs-config", line 75, in main
    app = NtfsConfig()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/NtfsConfig/NtfsConfig.py", line 56, in __init__
    os.mkdir(HAL_CONFIG_DIR)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/hal/fdi/policy'

I am trying to follow the Ubuntu documentation to make my windows files accessible.
What do I need to do?
Is there another package that will enable me to do this?
Thanks in advance
