Cannot mount volume in Linux

I have been getting problem with mounting my ntfs disk partition after upgrading my Ubuntu from verstion 7 to 8.

I though I could be problem with the upgrade that stuff things up and something could went wrong while upgrading.

After a few research, I’ve found it’s likely not because of the upgrade. The problem could possibly be: the disk partition hasn’t been completely released from window processes.

What I did was, force mount with the following command:

manet@netubuntu:/$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o force
manet@netubuntu:/$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/FIXED250G -o force

They are mounted successfully with the following warning message

$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile.

which can be ignored, but again this is done at your own risk.
