Okay, edit (as root) the file /etc/fstab .

Add a line like:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/CWindow ntfs
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=0077,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1

That should be only one line.  Replace the uid and gid numbers (1000 in
this case) with the values for your user and group.  To find these
values, type the command (NOT as root):

id

In my case, I get something beginning with:

uid=1000(matthew) gid=1000(matthew)

You should use the numbers you get.

Then restart and the partition should mount automatically and give you
access.

sudo mount /mnt/CWindow

Let me know what happens.
