In brief, I use captive NTFS
NO, do NOT attempt to write to an NTFS partition with anything other than the appropriate version of Windows or appropriate WINDOWS tools or applications. To do so may cause the partition to become corrupted and it may not be recoverable. Using Captive NTFS is very risky. It is no longer supported and there are no foolproof alternatives. You should look at the information at the following links:

There is a detailed explanation of the error and some possible fixes located there, including one that requires you to remove the hard drive and repair it in another Windows system. The recovery console is probably the safest for you, and it can be accessed from the install cd. The procedure is outlined in the links above. If you do not have admin rights/password to this machine, why is that so?

Another alternative would be to use Windows PE, which is NOT available to normal humans, OR to use BartPE, which is something that you would have to make and configure from some files on the Net and your Windows Install Files. You can Google for more info on that if you would like. It is rather simple to make the disc, but somewhat detailed. It took me just less than an hour the first time I did it, so it should take anyone else less than 45 minutes.
