By default slitaz mount disk on /media directory anyway the error
<i>org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure</i>
is one problem of udev,, first chose tried on terminal as root tazpkg get-install udev –forced
and re instal pcmanfm from another command tazpkg get-install pcmanfm –forced and reboot.
If the error persists, you might groped with an earlier version of udev, it would not be the first time that on some hardware problems creates

Please check (or post) your /etc/fstab.
In this filesystemtable (fstab) you find all partitions, that the system shall mount to pre-defined positions in the directory-tree.
If /dev/sda2 is mentioned (and not commented out with #) in /etc/fstab, then the system tries to mount your win partition to the defined position.
PCManFm uses udev to identify partition parameters and automatically derives a partition name from it. Then the directory /media/[name] will be created and the partition is mounted there. Upon umount, the directory will be deleted again.
Your error description points into this direction.

/dev/sda seems to be identified as a (network) smb-share. Odd...
Is there a partition no 2 on /dev/sda at all? Please post the result of
fdisk -l
in order to see the partition information of your HD.

Do you boot Windows from /dev/sda2?
If so, did you try to check the disk for integrity, since the behaviour has changed (are you sure, thag the ntfs-partition is still ok?)
If so, have you checked, if ntfs-3g is installed? Maybe reinstall via
tazpkg -gi ntfs-3g --forced
If all is yes, then I am a bit lost about your problem... :-(
