We have ubuntu 8.04.1 i386 When I start and choose win xp it indicates
register error, register file feature and dumps its memory on and on and
on.
Ubuntu: From computer places, the details: 7.6 gb media, 27.6 gb media,
acronis SZ, cd-rw/dvd plus minus rw, floppy drive Files/term
Message cannot mount volume $ logfile indicates unclean shutdown
operation not supported, mount is denied because nfts is marked to be in
use, choose one action
ONE if you have windows disconnect the external devices by clicking on
the safely remove hardware icon in the windows taskbar
Choice 2, If you don't have windows than you can use the force option
e.g. type mount-t ntfs-3g/dev/sdal/media/disk-o force or add the
relevant row in the /etc/fstab file /dev/sda1/media/disk/ ntfs-3gforce oo
