There is no deafult support for mounting NTFS partitions in rw mode in Ubuntu.
You have to have the NTFS-3g (http://www.ntfs-3g.org) and Fuse (http://fuse.sf.net) installed.
I do not remember about Dapper Drake or Edgy Eft , but the Fiest Fawn repos have all these packages.
Just search for "fuse" in the Synaptic package manager and select fuse-utils, libfuse(devs), nrfs-3g.
You should be done in 5 minutes , as I was :-D

Thanks,
Raseel
