I came across a new problem, at least for me, in ubuntu 14.04, while trying to mount the NTFS drives. It was just saying that I did not turned off windows system properly and therefore the filesystem is corrupt. I could mount the file system in the readonly mode. sudo mount -t "ntfs" -ro "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda3" "/media/bidur/d" For that, I have to create a new directory beforehand i.e. "/media/bidur/d". Just now, I came across a way to deal with the problem by using ntfsfix commad: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda3
