I have a laptop with 3 partitions on a 500gb hdd:

Windows 8 - 60gb - ntfs
Ubuntu 12.4 - 40gb - ext4
A media partition - 390gb - ntfs

I copied music files to the media partition while using Ubuntu but when I logged in to Windows I couldn't see any files there at all.

I would like to be able to access, copy and delete files on this drive partition from both operating systems.

How is this possible?

There is an issue with writing data to ntfs partitions while windows 8 is suspended and not shut down (see http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Linux-and-Windows-8-Fast-Startup-puts-data-at-risk-1780640.html or Unable to mount Windows (NTFS) filesystem due to hibernation).

From your question I don't really know if this is what's happening, but when it is, the solution is properly shutting down windows 8 instead of hibernating it.
