For some strange reason I can't seem to mount both my external NTFS drive and my WD My Book external drive at the same time. I can easyly mount my internal NTFS drive with read and write support. But when plugging in my external I get an error (see attachment) and the I'm not allowed to mount the disk. It shows up in Places. But no option for mount or unmount it. Can anyone help me solve this please :)

Running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron (64), Gnome 2.22.1, Mem. 3.0 GB, AMD Athlon 64 3000+, Three internal HDDS (1. EXT3, 1. FAT32, 1 NTFS) + External NTFS.

Looks like you drive might be flagged as unclean. Just boot into Windows, have it mount, unmount and shutdown, then try again.
