NTFS write error!

[Dark Star]

I installed ntfs-config
apt-get install ntfs-config

Now after using this I got this errorr

Mounting /media/sda1 failed.

$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 1)
Failed to mount '/dev/disk/by-uuid/C4445B1A445B0F14': 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.

I have no other OS than Ubuntu what to do ?

btw back again on ubuntu :razz:

Oh this is simple.

Go back to Windows, Shut Down properly (Don't Restart or Hibernate etc, only Shut Down) and then Launch Ubuntu. It'll be fixed. Its a security/safety issue related to NTFS :)

Oops, no other OS right? Um, wait...

So yeah, add the force option to the FSTAB (sudo gedit /etc/fstab)

So in the line that looks like:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g users,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=007 0 0

Make it look like:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g users,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=007,force 0 0

What I mean is, just add the force command and then reboot.

Also in my grub boot loader Windows is appearing well I had removed it how to remove from grubmenu.lst :?

I cannot find any line similar to that :(

Aw man .. its right in the middle of the file!

Add the bold as shown.

But I wonder why it is ntfs and not ntfs-3g ... Wait I'll have to boot back to Ubuntu and check if its really gone. (Was playing Halo 2 :)))

Edit:
Ok, so if you are very sure you have installed ntfs-config and have ticked the appropriate options under Applications > System Tools > NTFS Configuration Tool, then change all occurances of ntfs to ntfs-3g in your fstab. Thus your final fstab will look like:


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# -- This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config --
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

# Entry for /dev/sda7 :

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

Why NTFS if you don't have windows?
Did you try ntfsfix as listed in the solutions in your first post?

[QwertyManiac]

@mehulved - That force fixes it up, the ntfsfix fixes it in a more legit way :)) Anyway his problem seems to be solved ..

@Shashwat Pant - You can remove it via (sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst). The Windows entry will be the last, just remove the entire chunk. :)

[Dark Star]

Well again a problem :x .. I copy the files close the windows .. open again and everything blank. Now I have to right click the drive select Ubmount Vol. :x
You are not privileged to unmount this volume.
For an instance files copied appear .. after closing dissappear and had to follow same step :X
btw am also upgrading adding 1Gig to old 256 and Intel C2D + new mb +gpu later :) +320 gigs storage :d
