Do you want to mount it once or auto mount it? For mounting it once:
1.First create a directory where u want to mount it.
sudo mkdir /media/windows
Now you have to find which partition is the NTFS one by using:
sudo fdisk -l
If your NTFS partition is for example
/dev/sdb1
to mount it use:sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sdb1 /media/windows
To unmount simply do:
sudo umount /media/windows
If you want to have it mounted automatically check this link
