mount error

[mandarkatdare]

Hi,

I installed the ntfs-3g package and after that tried to mount my external hard drive. It gives the foll. error:

[root@localhost mnt]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/windows
$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults, or you have a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows TWICE. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If you have SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first you must activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for the details.


What should be done? Sorry for possibly repeating the topic but, I could not find any answers to it.
