ntfs-config fails to install properly

[Kevin]

Dual booting a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 with Windows Vista (both 64-bit). Computer Gateway M-6864 Laptop.

After installing ntfs configuration tool from the Ubuntu Software Center the application would fail to launch after I typed in my password. Attempting to run it from the terminal I got the following output.

kevin@kevin-M-6864FX:~$ sudo ntfs-config

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ntfs-config", line 102, in <module>
    main(args, opts)
  File "/usr/bin/ntfs-config", line 75, in main
    app = NtfsConfig()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/NtfsConfig/NtfsConfig.py", line 56, in __init__
    os.mkdir(HAL_CONFIG_DIR)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/hal/fdi/policy'

The problem was solved by running the following command

sudo mkdir -p /etc/hal/fdi/policy
