force mount hard drive

running the live cd, ubuntu won't mount my hard drive. i get an error basically telling me that windows is still using it, and that i can either go to windows and disconnect the device (via the 'safely remove hardware' icon on the system tray) or i can force mount it.

i can't continue with a full wipe-out installation because the installer is stuck on the part with formatting the drive, because it's not mounted.

does anyone know a command i can use to force mount my hard drive, or an alternate solution?
