P.S. It's usually helpful to transcribe the exact error, instead of describing vague symptoms.
Yes,I agree. I was not able to retreive the exact error message from dmesg on boot as I had rebooted again and lost that. If you can tell me where I can get previous boot messages (dmesg.today didn have it either), I will post the message for the benefit of others in case they have this problem.
Thanks again.

^^^I am able to mount my windows partition manually by either:
mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /windows
or by putting an entry in by /dev/fstab that looks like:
/dev/ad0s1 /windows ntfs ro 2 2
and using command:
The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesys- tems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or is zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck(8) will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.
Since you don't want to run fsck on the ntfs volume, set this to zero.
If I leave this entry in my /etc/fstab, the OS reports inconsistency errors on bootup when it tries to mount and goes into single-user mode. I then had to remount / for read-write and delete the line in the fstab before it would boot again.
