Well, I get that mounting a Windows partition, if it needs to
be "scandisk"ed, but you already say you've done an fsck, so that doesn't
seem right.

So make a new mount point - so that you know the mountpoint can't be in
use - and try mounting your partition there.  If that doesn't work, try
mounting with "-o ro".  And if that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas...  If
either work, we're a step closer.
