Bug Description

Binary package hint: ntfs-config

Started the ntfs-config tool from Applications->System Tools->NTFS Configuration Tool
I have 3 NTFS partitions on the oher harddisk, the "Windows HDD" as i call it. (Ubuntu runs on a second HDD)

/dev/sdb1 - the C partition (labeled: System)
/dev/sdb5 - the D partition (labeled: Media)
/dev/sdb6 - the E partition (labeled: Storage)

Mounted the sdb5 and sdb6 in the suggested mount points: /media/Storage and /media/Media

Everything worked fine.
Restarted the system.

The two NTFS partitions were no longer mounted.
Run the ntfs-config tool again, but this time i had the following error:
"Error : An error occured when trying to configure
 /media/Storage, please retry. Thanks."
and respectively:
"Error : An error occured when trying to configure
 /media/Media, please retry. Thanks."

I was able to mount them though after manually deleting the /media/Storage and /media/Media folders.

I had made a fresh install of kubuntu without formatting my / drive. Then I got these errors when I ran ntfs-config. Followed the above procedure (i.e. deleting the particular folders) and then running ntfs-config. I am running Jaunty.
