how to mount a dirty windows hard drive

[Herman Christiani]

Hi, gave up on windows 8.1 a few days ago and installed ubuntu 13.10 64 bit.
Very impressed and not willing to go back to windows.
Problem: can't access a backup HDD disk, ubuntu refuses to mount because
windows did not properly shut down, are there ways to force mount? if so
how?
Thanks in advance for any pointers, Herman
