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.

have done suggested?

this happens when disconnect drive without safely removing first.
