Help with mounting a (damaged?) partition

[Vostrocity]

I have an NTFS partition that I use solely for personal files I need to access in both Ubuntu and Windows.

Last week, I got a trojan in Windows that wiped out my Master Boot Record so I couldn't even get to GRUB, much less boot up to any OS. I used a Ubuntu LiveCD to restore GRUB, and now both OS's boot up fine. The problem is, I can't access that extra NTFS partition in either Windows or Ubuntu. They both see the partition, but won't let me open them. When I try to mount it in GParted, it says "you must specify file system type". But in the File System column, it already displays NTFS.

Thanks in advance.

go into windows and run:


chkdsk /f X: (X being the drive letter)

and let it check the filesystem. If it's just damaged it should fix it. There is probably a way to do it in ubuntu, but since it's NTFS i would do it under windows.
