mounted partition with no icon in desktop

I mounted a windows partition with read/write ntfs-3g. I put in fstab

Code:

/dev/hda5 /media/hda5 ntfs-3g defaults,silent,user,auto,umask=0,locale=pt_PT.utf8 0 0

when I boot the system the partition mounts, but don't appears in desktop the icon of the partition. I click in computer>and in the partition and the message is

Code:

the device /dev/hda5, is mounted.

use the force option to work a mounted filesystem.

mount failed

How can I force the mount partition to appears in desktop?

The problem is solved. It misses some packages like: pmount, fuse-source, etc.
