The NTFS driver was repositioned inside the kernel at one point, and certain components blended with ntfsprogs. A major change in approach between version 2.6 and today is that live-distro developers no longer grant root access by default, for practical reasons. There was also a transition from ntfs-3g to ntfs3 drivers between versions 5.14 and 5.15; ntfs3 is a complete filesystem driver with NTFS POSIX ACLs, which might or might not be useful. Ultimately, you only need to gain root access—using 'sudo su', 'sudo <command>', or simply typing 'su'. Run the command 'mount -a -o remount,rw' if you can master it in a non-graphical console. Along with learning file navigation tools like cd, rm, mv, nano/vi, tab completion, and escaping spaces, this will greatly improve your workflow and open up more live operating systems to explore.
