Bug Description

I have an NTFS partition from Windows on my main hard drive. When I click on it in the launcher to mount it, nothing happens, no error message or anything. When I try to mount it from Nautilus, I get an error message explaining why it can't be mounted.

What should happen:
When a device can't be mounted, an error message should be shown explaining that it can't and perhaps why.
