So, you have a multiple boot setup with one partition for Windows and one for Ubuntu. Now, lets say you want to see the files from your Windows NTFS partiton in Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

This will install a nifty little system tool that will allow you to enable or disable NTFS capabilities within Ubuntu. You can find it under Applications->System Tools

"If you have at least one internal NTFS partition, it will allow you to check both boxes, otherwise you can only check the box for external devices.

If your NTFS partition(s) are not yet configured, it will ask you to choose a name that will be used as the mount point (please no spaces). Then enable write support for internal and/or external devices."

It should add the newly mounted filesystem to your desktop and "Places"
