/dev/sda1 98G 29G 69G 30% /media/win_c

/dev/sda1 has been mounted in /media/win_c folder. Did you check that folder?

Didn't you add an entry for /dev/sda5 partition in /etc/fstab file? Did you create /media/win_d folder?

Execute this to mount /dev/sda5 partition.

su -
mkdir /media/sda5
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5  /media/sda5  -o defaults,umask=0
ls /media/win_d

Post exact error message here. Post the contents of /etc/fstab file too.


EDIT : My mistake. Your partition number is /dev/sda5 but I posted command for /dev/sda3 in post #8. Corrected it now.
Replace /dev/sda3 with /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab file and execute mount -a command or reboot machine. Check /media/win_d folder.
