while am double clicking on my hard disk it shows

Unable to access “Expansion Drive” Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /run/media/root/Expansion Drive: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs"-o"uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=0,gid=0,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/run/media/root/Expansion Drive"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

Solution

Install epel repository from fedora

Download it from http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

# rpm -ivh epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

# yum install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs ntfsprogs-gnomevfs

Done
