The filesystem seems to be a bit messed up (and "ntfs-3g" driver is a bit
"picky" with this), maybe due to a forced shutdown of the windows machine
or USB cable disconnection without using the "safely remove" feature :-).
The NTFS volume would require a scandisk and defrag, executed from
windows host.
After that, it should be mounted in linux without any hassle.
