Have you tried any of the two choices?
If you have a windows installed you could also try running a chkdsk on
that disk and see if it solves the problem.

Are you trying to mount with rw access? You must have ntfs-3g installed
for this. Install also the package ntfsprogs and then try ntfsfix.

Googling for the error gives the following results:
http://www.google.com.ar/search?hl=es&q=%24LogFile%20indicates%20unclean
%20shutdown%20(0%2C%200)%20&btnG=B%C3%BAsqueda+en+Google&meta=

Try the second result and see if it works for you. If it doesn't keep
looking on the results.


By the way, please don't send HTML messages.
