I want to mount an external HDD.I have tried many things but still no success.When i try to mount it from Disk Utility i get this error:

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged
