Re: Systemctl Error !

Is there an fstab entry for this mount ? Post it.

You generally can't fstab mount to /media - since the /media directory is mounted from tmpfs at boot - there are no pesistent mount points there. IOW /media is only for automounts - mount your NTFS somewhere else on a directory you create.

What does
systemctl status media-windows.mount
report ?
did you look at /var/log/messages ?

Re: Systemctl Error !

What exactly did you do?

You can't mount it to /media/windows, because the directory doesn't exist.

Try /mnt/windows instead.

Code:
cat /etc/fstab
Try something like this to get you up and running again

Code:
mkdir /media/windows
systemctl restart media-windows.mount
systemctl default
