exact same issue with 7.10 i386 alternate installer
Someone else reported it as well:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-596682.html
Setup:
sda(250Gb) - linux partitions: xfs, jfs, reiserfs
sdb(250Gb) - 2 windows partitions
sdb1(100Gb) - ntfs
sdb5(120Gb) - ntfs
Running a socket 939 (AMD 64) motherboard with the nforce 4 sli chipset.
Using any mount point not in /media would give error:
The attempt to mount a file system with type ntfs in SCSI3 (0,0,3), partition
#1 (sdb) at /windows/root failed
Of course I tested out windows, ran chkdsk, all perfect.
The 4th console (ctrl-alt-4) gave no error message. Just on-screen
statements about successfully mounting other sda partitions.
Strangely, the installer would only give the error on the partition that was
Not marked bootable.
So if sda1 is bootable, sda5 gets error
if sda5 is bootable, sda1 gets error
Infuriating, because one less windows partition and most likely it would have
worked.
Any way, I ended mounting in /media/...
