    mounting a ntfs partition problem...

    Following the instructions in several posts within this forum, I`ve tried to mount my Windows partition by inserting the proper line to the fstab file.

    The look of my fstab file after the insertion of this line looks like(as you can see I have created a new folder /windows):

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
    proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
    /dev/sda5       /               ext2    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
    /dev/sda6       none            swap    sw              0       0
    /dev/sda1 /windows ntfs nls=utf8,unmask=0222 0 0
    /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0


    So far so good, but when I try

    sudo mount -a

    I get the following error

    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
           missing codepage or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so


    and the result of all this is that I can`t mount my partition.

    Does anybody know how can I solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    You have
    unmask

    and it should be
    umask
