If you cannot mount ntfs in your ubuntu install, that is rather odd,
because it comes with your ubuntu install.
Try sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g if that doesn't work, try

That seems rather odd. You can also try adding the device to your fstab file.
here is an example. Doubtless another user can supply a better line.
/dev/sda5 /media/mount defaults,locale=en_US.utf8   0    0
You might want to look into different options for fstab.
It really perplexes me that you cannot seem to mount a ntfs partition.
Could you possibly post the commands and the errors?
