Mount error in Ubuntu

I got a wired error in my ubuntu today, when I tried to mount my Windows Partition. So I tried to reboot the machine in windows, and thought OS will do a filesystem check so that the error got wiped out. But no luck after rebooting the machine so many times. And below is the solution what I found:



Error Message:



Solution:




1. sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs



2. sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda2
