That is impossible because I do not have windows anymore and windows refuses to install... Though even if I try to unmount the filesystem in Linux the problem still persists.
** Description changed: - he automount failed, very unfriendly. + The automount failed, very unfriendly. + I got two error notifications, the first: Cannon mount volume. Unable to mount the volume. $LogFile inidcated unclean shutdown (0,0) Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: Choice 1: if you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' Icon in the Windows taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly. Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsibility. For example type on the command line: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o force Or add the option to the relevant row in /etc/fstab file: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ntfs-3g force 0 0 and the second: Unable to mount 300.1 GB media DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus-Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. I can mount it by manually by writing what is instructed above in the command line using sudo however altering fstab tells me I do not have mounting privileges.
