Thread: Unable to mount the drive

i have 500gb hard drive, partitioned 3 sub drives using windows 7. when switch on laptop, not getting booted , i'm getting error message error code: 0142.
have installed ubuntu 10.10 , able use laptop. when try access 1 of drive, below error message (i'm able access other 2 drives no issues):

error mounting: mount exited exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: input/output error
failed read ntfs $bitmap: input/output error
ntfs either inconsistent, or there hardware fault, or it's a
softraid/fakeraid hardware. in first case run chkdsk /f on windows
reboot windows twice. usage of /f parameter very
important! if device softraid/fakeraid first activate
, mount different device under /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). please see 'dmraid' documentation
more details.

can please let me know how can resolve this.

thanks.

quick googling shows error code 0142 specific dell , means hard drive hardware problem.
