On win this partition is called E:/ And there are music, pictures and movie files. I would like to watch them from Linux, is it imposible? If yes, then tell me how, please =)
The partition will need to be mounted before you can use it. Unfortunately, knowing that it's labelled as "E:\" under Windows doesn't help much. Can you run "fdisk -l" (lowercase L, not a 1) in a terminal and post the output please. Actually, for Ubuntu you'll probably need to use sudo. If "fdisk -l" doesn't work, use "sudo fdisk -l".

Note that you don't have to use /media/windows, but it might be a good idea to create a directory in /media since that appears to be where Ubuntu puts stuff like this.
2. Mount the partiton:
$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /media/windows
If it's /dev/hda1 that you want to mount instead, then obviously change that line above accordingly. The -t option tells mount the type of file system on said partition. See "man mount" for more details about mount.
You should now be able to access the files on that partition using a terminal or whatever graphical file browser you use.
Does it work from the terminal? Maybe unmount it (with "sudo umount /dev/hda5") and remount it with "sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=0222 /dev/hda5 /media/windows" (taken from here).

You only mounted the partition at the moment. in order for an automatic mount after Re-booting, you need to add that particular partition to your /etc/fstab
