Just FYI: Whatever NTFS support you might get going probably won't be able to write to any partitions very reliably. If possible, try FAT32; practically the only difference is that it doesn't support encryption or compression.

You do not have NTFS support in your kernel. What distro are you using?

You may want to look this:
