Try using ntfsmount. That may help you solve your problem. What is ntfsmount? ntfsmount (part of the ntfsprogs) is an read/write userspace NTFS driver. It provides full read-write access to NTFS, excluding writing compressed and encrypted files, changing file ownership, access right. It is different from the kernel driver in the way that is resides in the user space. That means that it is a bit slower but has more features.
