[SOLVED] Read-write problem with the USB 1TB NTFS disk

I'm trying to write and delete files from 1TB external disk NTFS, but it's impossible to do.
The disk can only read files.

I was trying to change permissions with:

chmod 777 /run/media/kubaorlen/External\ disk\ 1/

It doesn't help

And i got information:

chmod: you can not change permissions to '/ run / media / kubaorlen / External disk 1': Read-only filesystem

I also trying to remount the disk with:

sudo mount --options remount,rw /dev/sdb1

also useless

And i got info:

mount: / run / media / kubaorlen / External disk 1: can not be remount / dev / sdb1 to read and write - write-protected

I suggest that is not disk problem:
#First, it works normally on Windows 10 and Debian based distro
#Second, there is no switch to protect files from write, like in SD card

I have no idea how to solve this problem
