It won't work with NTFS partitions, as by default linux can't properly write into NTFS-formatted filesystems.
If the OP wants to interchange data between windoze and linux a-la dual-boot he should stick to a FAT32 partition, and everything should be fine.
Another tip, if you want static permissions in the whole FAT32 partition, you can set them with the
umask function, you can also help yourself by giving
owner and
group ownerships to said filesystem instead of the
root:root default. All that goes in the
/etc/fstab file, check
man mount most options would fit in said file
