Perhaps unclean shutdown (or corrupted NTFS partition; usually
suggests unclean shutdown though because the logfile is corrupted)

 Force the mounting even if the NTFS logfile is unclean. The logfile
will be unconditionally cleared. Use this option with caution and for
your own responsibility.

So, when you are given a shell after "your file system.... read only
mode" what you do is:
Unmount it:
$ sudo umount /dev/sda5 (or whatever its called)

Remount it r/w with force option:
$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/NTFS_mount_dir  -o rw,force
(resets the ntfs logfile as pointed above)
