My Ubuntu experience is very limited, but, here goes:  I'd try mounting
the NTFS partition via /etc/fstab.  Try:

Create a folder to mount to:

# sudo mkdir /mnt/media

Change the permissions on that directory:

# sudo chmod 0777 /mnt/media

Edit /etc/fstab:

# sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Insert this line at the bottom of the file:


Code:
--------------------
    
  /dev/sdb1    /mnt/media      ntfs-3g rw,defaults,noatime,umask=0000 0 0
  
--------------------

If you NTFS drive isn't /dev/sdb1, fix that line up accordingly.

Now, try mounting the drive:

# sudo umount /dev/sdb1

# sudo mount -a

See if you can "see" the NTFS content:

# ls -l /mnt/media

See if you write to the NTFS partition:

# touch /mnt/media/test-file.txt

# echo 'Blah, blah, blah.' >/mnt/media/test-file.txt

# cat /mnt/media/test-file.txt

Hopefully, that will have fixed things for you.
