Where are you trying to mount it?
/mnt ?
/mnt/windows ?
In your home directory?
This can make a big difference.
You may want to mount the drive using GID and UID set to your user, 1000 maybe?
This would give you exclusive rights to the file system.
$ cat /etc/group | grep yourusername
should tell you your ID and all groups you are part of.
Good Luck,

If your second windows drive is NTFS, believe me, you don't want to write on it !
It doesn't work well ,and you can damage the information on that drive (i had the experience).

With the latest versions of the Kernel, you can write to NTFS partitions, but you have to reboot to NT/2k immediately and run scandisk to correct/add the info that Linux can't do properly (yet). Needless to say, editing the contents of the \winnt directory from Linux isn't a good idea :P
