Linux and NTFS frankly speaking dont go that well together.But anyways there is a way to allow write permissions to ntfs partitions.By simply installing the ntfs-3g drivers and enabling your internal or external ntfs drive, you should be ready to have full access to your NTFS drive.So here's how you go about installing the ntfs driver in linux
Step 1 : Go to the Terminal(Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfs-config
This would install the ntfs-3g driver.
Step 2 : Now once you have installed it, you need to configure your ntfs drive in the ntfs-config screen
Step 3 : Go to Applications->System Tools->NTFS Configuration Tool
Step 4 : You should see a window like this
Step 5 : Now select the partition that you want to configure from the list
Step 6 : Then choose "Enable Write Support for Internal Device" or "Enable Write Support for External Device" Whichever is appropriate
Step 7 : Incase you have an external USB drive which is an NTFS one, then you have to select "Enable Write Support For External Device"
Step 8 : Click on OK and close the window and you should now have write permissions for your NTFS drive!!
