    There is some local settings that you have to made from the following location, it would be used and you have to configure the user privilege related settings and would be as follows. Just move to the System>Administration>Users and Groups (Click unlock to make changes button if needed)>Click your username >Properties> User Privileges. now you can select the proper privileges to be continue the partition..

    Error mounting partition

    Very well suggested but after the there is not any positive result from the issue the same thing is going on again and again. The method that you suggested
    me , first time it was looking that it can be used to resolve the error message that I am getting . The following method i have granted my user all the privileges but the error still exist. And one thing more, I have removed the old policy kit but the error still exist.

    Error mounting partition

    I think, you are lacking some of the procedure or anything you are missing in the step . Just come out from the problem and you need to start that process again with the fresh procedure and follow the procedure . The mounting of the file system can be done in two ways and scenario :


    1- Mount NTFS file system read only access
    2- Mount NTFS file system with read write access

    Error mounting partition

    Before starting to mount the partition, you have to first create a mount point that would be done with the following statement and described as follows :


    Code:
    mkdir /mnt/ntfs
    Then after, you can simply use mount command to mount it:

    Code:
    mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
    Now, your partition has been mounted and you can access that from the mount location and the files on the partition would be accessed in the read write access.
