    Did you mean an NTFS partition? Are you trying to mount a Windows partition?

    For write access on NTFS you need the ntfs-3g driver.

    Assuming that you have the NTFS driver support built into the kernel, you still need to install the ntfsprogs package. That provides the tools you need to mount, check, and otherwise use NTFS file systems. That said, you should NEVER use an NTFS file system for your standard Linux system components such as /, /boot, /usr, /var, etc.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    As stated above: install ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g. Then you should be able to mount your partition. If you have only read access make sure mount.ntfs-3g is used instead of the normal mount.ntfs.
