Dear gold_finger,
I tried another way of installation, Primary partition of sdb1 - 124 GB, swaparea - 8 GB and rest extended partition of NTFS - 364 GB and installed the system. This time the system booted but doesn't mount the NTFS drive i.e not recognize the drive. given below is the output from the same commands you have specified.
I will also reconfigure the system the Old way and post you the output as requested by you

Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.
