you cannot mount an NFTS file system in linux. NFTS is a Microsoft filing system, and its not compatible with linux.

usually linux uses ext3 (older ext2)

however, both linux and windows can read file in a VFAT (FAT32) file system, so if i were you, i would go in the windows computer and format the USB device with FAT32 and when you mount that USB drive into your linux, it should work.
