Extract the script from the archive, and if you extracted it to your Downloads directory, then open a terminal and:

cd Downloads
sudo ./bootinfoscript

Mounting means opening the filesystem on the disk and attaching it somewhere within the Unix filesystem hierarchy so you can access the files. ntfs-3g normally refuses to mount an NTFS partition if it detects a windows hibernation file, since modifying the filesystem while windows is hibernated would cause corruption when windows resumes. The option you are trying to pass instructs ntfs-3g to go ahead and delete the hibernation file ( preventing windows from resuming ), and proceed.
