Here is what it says in small window. i give you all detail, what is wrong NOW?


$ log file indicate showdown (0,1) failed to mount '/dev1': operation not supported mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use.
Chose one option
Choice 1
If you have windows then disconnect the external devide.
Choice 2
If you don't have windows then you can use the "force' option for you own responsibilities for example:
Type the command line.
mount-t ntfs-3g/dev/sdb1/media/freeagent drive -0 force
OR
add the option to the relevant row in the:
/etc/fstabfile:
/dev/sdb1/media/freeagent/drive ntfs-3g force 0 0

Find a windows machine and plug the harddrive into it.

then using the safely remove hardware feature of windows safely eject the drive. this will stop ntfs-3g complaining about a dirty unmount.

then bring drive back to your linux machine.

if this is a recurrant issue and you do not store files larger than 2GB on the drive (hard to satisfy that one these days) you may consider reformatting as FAT32 which is much more forgiving about dirty unmounts.
