All you have to do is edit your /etc/fstab file (note: ntfs is actually equivalent to ntfs-3g since /sbin/mount.ntfs is symlinked to /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g):
$ sudo blkid # Get the UUID of the partition to mount
$ gksudo gedit /etc/fstab # Edit the file
# Add a line similar to:
UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX /media/windows ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
$ sudo mount -a
Note that gid=46 refers to plugdev group.
NTFSResize
Change the size of an existing NTFS partition
$ fdisk -l /dev/sda # List information on partitions on /dev/sda
$ ntfsresize --info /dev/sda1
$ ntfsresize --no-action --size 20152M /dev/sda1 # Testing
$ ntfsresize --no-action --size 20151M /dev/sda1 # Testing
$ ntfsresize --size 20151M /dev/sda1
$ ntfsresize --size 20000M /dev/sda1
NTFSClone
Backup an NTFS partition to a file
$ ntfsclone --save-image -o - /dev/sda1 | gzip -c > backup-20090908.img.gz
