Help with fstab and ntfs



Hi,
I keep getting errors like this when mounting my ntfs drives.


Code:
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/sda6': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:

Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by
          clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
          taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.

Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
          your own responsibility. For example type on the command line:

            mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /home/sid/Drives/E -o force

    Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file:

            /dev/sda6 /home/sid/Drives/E ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0




My fstab is this:
Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda3       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/sda7       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hda        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0


/dev/sdb1       /home/sid/Drives/Mybook vfat    defaults,umask=000,users 0 0

/dev/sdc1       /home/sid/Drives/500g ntfs-3g   defaults,umask=000,users 0 0

/dev/sda5       /home/sid/Drives/D      ntfs-3g defaults,umask=000,users 0 0

/dev/sda6       /home/sid/Drives/E      ntfs-3g defaults,umask=000,users 0 0


This fstab worked in my last installation, so any ideas on what my have gone wrong?
