Happened after a update(cannot recall which one exactly). Thought it was a simple bug, and would be fixed, but not up till now.
whenever I try to double click the icon, it will not respond.
whenever I try to mount through the 'Disk mounter' applet, it will give a weird error shown in the attachment, with no content.
Just don't understand what is going on.
please help.

leorex,

Try to see if you can mount it manually.

As sudo/root, try:

> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /windows

Where:
* /dev/sda1 is your windows partition (if you installed windows first, this is probably the case)
* /windows is an empty directory to which you want to mount the drive. You're default might be "/media/SOMETHING".
* ntfs-3g enables rw access for ntfs. the default ntfs is read only.

Let us know how that turns out, as that will tell us whether it is a problem with mount or whatever fedora uses to manage the mounting systems.
