I have had an external drive (seagate i believe) before that gave problems mounting in linux if it had previously been mounted in windows and then uncleanly removed.
Sometime an NTFS drive that has been accessed by Windows can be locked into a read only mode but you can force a read/write session to be established at the time of mounting the drive (see man mount) and also I have had problems mounting a Windows drive taken out of a Windows machine that had gone into hibernation and not been turned on since so the "sleep state" (Dump of the RAM I guess?) was in the root of the drive and simply needed deleting for the drive to become accessible.
HTH.
