Can't mount hard drive after system crash

Try mounting the NTFS drive in fstab using the ntfs-3g flag.

see my example below:

UUID=7C1A71921A714A62 /mnt/7C1A71921A714A62 ntfs-3g nofail,noatime,rw,user,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=022,fmask=133,windows_names,auto 0 0

Obviously, you need to substitute your drives UUID in my example.

Mounting using ntfs-3g flag in /etc/fstab appears to work.

man fstab

Be sure to copy a backup of fstab before editing:

sudo cp /etc/fstab  /etc/fstab.bak
