Should you use capitals for the drive name in the command?

Ok, give this a shot

sudo mkdir /media/#name

for #name, just whatever you want to call the mounted partition

then

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/#name

again, where #name is what you just used the last time.

Post back if this works, so we can get this into fstab for you so it will stick.

$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:

Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by
clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.

Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
your own responsibility. For example type on the command line:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Zopiac -o force

Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file:

/dev/sda1 /media/Zopiac ntfs-3g force 0 0

Do you have windows installed on that partition your trying to mount. If so, boot into it and run a scandisk, and then shut down windows properly. Then retry the previous post.
