Backup /etc/fstab if you have it (shouldn't be there in a default install).  Run sudo vim /etc/fstab and write: UUID=paste_the_uuid_here none ntfs rw or LABEL=volume_name none ntfs rw (if you don't have UUID for the disk). Repeat for other NTFS partitions. Restart your system. Thats all! source (great web)
