[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/media -t ntfs -o umask=0222
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
missing codepage or other error
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

[root@localhost ~]#
