By right ntfs support are installed by default during installation. However if the support was missing (ie Deleted after installation). You can perform below steps to get it back.

Windows using different filesystem from Linux ie. NTFS. To make Windows partition visible in Linux you need to install ntfs-3g.

  1. Go into terminal Ctrl + Alt + T.
  2. Type sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
  3. Then look for ntfs partion. fdisk -l
  4. Mount it.

Worse case is during the partition creation, your windows drive was deleted. That will explain why you cant see it anymore.
