    When you actually click drive icon..gnome asks you for root password.
    because you need root privileges for mount command.

    Are you sure you entered password or entered correct one?

    Post the output of df -h command too.
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    df -h
    * Its small L in fdisk -l.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Labels have been assigned to all NTFS Partitions.
    Post the contents of /etc/fstab file and output of df -h command here.
    Code:
    df -h
    cat /etc/fstab

    Try it to mount manually...
    execute as root.
    # mkdir /media/Softwares
    # mount /dev/sda8 /media/Softwares/ -t ntfs-3g
