Volume name with a space


The space in the volume name seems to disagree with fstab and terminal, I can't change the volume name either as I do not have access to Windows at this time. Is there a way I can help fstab or the terminal to recognize the space is part of the volume name?

Just a suggestion as I don't have much experience with volume names that contain spaces...

Try "/media/A disk" (in quotes) or /media/A\ disk

The error message is pretty clear. You need to boot into Window and run chkdsk on the drive or at least unmount it properly.

Changing the label is not going to do anything. That said, changing the label is easy

ntfslabel /dev/something newlabel

If you don't have ntfslabel, install ntfsprogs to get it.

But again, the error is clear, it has nothing to do with the label and everything to do with the filesystem needing to be flagged as clean. BTW I would NOT recommend the 'force' option. If you don't have Windows available then it's time to move to native filesystems.
