Mounting external NTFS drives?

[Matenrou]

Hello when I try to mount drives through usb I get "Unknown file system 'ntfs'.", does anyone know how to fix this?

Remember that the driver does not like partitions that were not unmounted properly. NTFS has a flag that marks the partition as "in use", which is still set when it wasn't properly removed or the system crashed. Then it is necessary to manually mount it with the 'force' option.
