mount - Clean Installed Ubuntu 14.04 - Second HDD is Read Only - How to gain permissions?

I recently wiped Windows 10, and installed Ubuntu 14.04 directly on C drive.



I also have a secondary 2TB drive with only media, music, photos, movies.

I am now unable to access the drive.



The drive appears as "/dev/sdb" under Disks



-



Error Mounting filesystem




"Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/roobs/2 Big Ass Bytes:

Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o
"uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177"
"/dev/sdb1" "/media/roobs/2 Big Ass Bytes"' exited with non-zero exit
status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata
kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1':
Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state.
Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast
restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option.
(udisks-error-quark, 0)"\





However, if I go to "Disks" and I edit Partition 1 such as



Automatic Mount Options OFF
and i add the line
",ro" at the end of




nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show





-
To look like




nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,ro




-
Then I am now able to access the drive and view my media.

However, I do not have permissions to WRITE data?



How can I make this change, since I no longer have Windows available, I cannot go back into Windows file system and change the drive's permissions?
