Trying to mount the partition from the command line, this is what I get:

root at 1[/]# mount /mnt/sda
mount: can't find /mnt/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
root at 1[/]# mount /mnt/sda1
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean. Choose one action:
   Boot Windows and shutdown it cleanly, or if you have a removable
   device then click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
   taskbar notification area before disconnecting it.
Or
   Run 'ntfsfix' on Linux unless you have Vista, then mount NTFS with
   the 'force' option read-write, or with the 'ro' option read-only.
Or
   Mount the NTFS volume with the 'ro' option in read-only mode.
root at 1[/]# mount /mnt/sda1 -force -ro
mount: option requires an argument -- o
Usage: mount -V                 : print version
       mount -h                 : print this help
       mount                    : list mounted filesystems
       mount -l                 : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
       mount -a [-t|-O] ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
       mount device             : mount device at the known place
       mount directory          : mount known device here
       mount -t type dev dir    : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
       mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
       mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using  -L label  or by uuid, using  -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say  man 8 mount .
root at 1[/]# mount -force NTFS /mnt/sda1
root at 1[/]# ntfsfix

Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk.
