Did you try mounting the NTFS volume through the GUI and get permission problem ? This can be because Windows hasn't fully freed up the volume when it shuts down if it is set for fast boot/shutdown.
To dig further you may need to work from CLI to find out a bit more about what's going on. If you are using LL5.6 ntfs-3g (and fuse) should already be installed and there are plenty of guides covering shared drives but proceed with caution if you've got anything important on the disks.

Hope these links help.
Thank you.
PS. I must say that linux is still for geeks and someone must make transition from windows easier for more people to use linux. Just saying.
