I have Kubuntu on two computers, one with Windows XP (with NTFS) and the 
other with Vista. I have no problem accessing the NTFS drives.  However, 
I cannot remember now if I had to install something like ntfs-3g from 
Adept or Synaptic.  You could do a search on that from either and see if 
you have it installed, if not, try to do so.
