How to mount windows NTFS drives in ubuntu ?

When you upgrade from ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu 8.04, you may encounter the following issue while trying to access your ntfs windows partitions, or it may be because windows has been shut down incorrectly.

The key answer of this problem is much easy, all you have to do is to force mounting all partitions.

Open the terminal and write:

$ sudo mount -a -o force

By using this command, you will force all unmounted partitions drivers, but isn’t as clean as letting windows remount and unmount it properly by restarting and shutting down windows.

Have fun :)
