On Ubuntu (and in general) ntfs mount with write permissons is still a big issue. Here is a simple cookbook for NTFS read/write:

  1. Add the folowing line to your sources.list file

    deb https://flomertens.keo.in/ubuntu/ dapper main

  2. Add the repository key be able to download the packages

    wget https://flomertens.keo.in/ubuntu/givre_key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

    sudo apt-get && sudo apt-get upgrade

  3. Install the package

    sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

  4. Add your ntfs partition

    sudo pico fstab

    /dev/partition /media/mount_point ntfs-3g defaults,utf8 0 0

Voilá mount or remount the drive and you have a ntfs partition writable. valid also for future removable ntfs drives.
