Cannot make folders in the mounted partition

I have mounted an NTFS partition on Ubuntu 18.04 using the ntfsfix command. However, I cannot create the folders either using mkdir or right-click → New Folder (the option is active, not greyed out) on that partition. It keeps giving me this error:

mkdir crimson
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘crimson’: No such file or directory

I tried sudo and I still get the same error. Even the -p option of mkdir keeps giving me the same error. Even remount didn't work. I have tried different namings and still get the same error. mkdir works fine in other parts of the system.

I am a newbie in the field of Linux, but I guess the problem can be addressing issue; maybe file-system commands cannot find the mounted address.

UPDATE: ntfsfix command

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda6
NTFS partition /dev/sda6 was processed successfully

Please add the complete mkdir command you've been using to your question. And also the output of mount. – Murphy Sep 16 '19 at 12:11

In case you are dual booting with Windows, have you disabled the Windows fast boot feature? – BeastOfCaerbannog Sep 17 '19 at 10:08
