All you have to do is run a "chkdsk /f C:" (or whatever drive) from
Windows, and it will mount properly on the next reboot.
You can force mount the partition as Puneeth Chaganti suggested, but
this may lead to data corruption if you write to it.
There is also the ntfsfix command (in the ntfsprogs package) that can
be used from ubuntu as an alternative to chkdsk in windows. However
this is not an exhaustive tool & may not be able to fix the problem.
