I assume, you tried mounting the drive by just issuing "mount /media".
That means you have an entry for it in your /etc/fstab. Could you
please post the contents of your /etc/fstab.
It looks like you have some options in the line for the /media mount
point, that are not valid for mounting NTFS.
Did you try mounting it "by hand" i.e. a complete mount command like 
"mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media" ? And if yes, what does that tell you ?

Like I said before. Those options you are looking for are specified in
/etc/fstab.
