For what i know, writing on a ntfs partition from linux is not a certified procedure. It's not a recommended action, even if a write utility exists.
You can convert the ntfs partitions in a fat32 format, and this is the recommended way to read/write from windows based partitions.
Another method if you have a local network is to start windows and share disks on net, and from another machine hosting ubuntu, mount these partitions with samba.

ntfs-3g will allow you to read and write your NTFS partitions, just use aptitude to install it
i.e
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
after that you edit the file /etc/fstab to to be as follows
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g -o silent,umask=0,locale=utf8
i think it should work just remember to replace hda1 with yor device name and also mnt/windows with the mount directory

Read information at www.ntfs-3g.org. Use ntfs-3g-config to install and set everything in just 2 clicks.
Cheers!!!
