Hey, I use fstab to mount my windows partitions:
# Windows partitions
/dev/sda3 /mnt/windows_files ntfs-3g gid=users,dmask=022,fmask=133 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/windows_system ntfs-3g gid=users,dmask=022,fmask=133 0 0
But I can't write to it (it seems to be read-only). I didn't manage to find the right solution at Arch Wiki at ntfs-3g page, so I am kindly asking for a help here.
EDIT: check the last comment for solution

The box said 'Requires Windows XP or better'. So I installed Arch Linux...

Try to add the defaults option to your fstab entries

You seem to have correct configurations. Try the wiki. This setting currently works for me:
# windows
UUID=<....> /mnt/windows ntfs-3g rw,uid=thiago,gid=thiago,dmask=022,fmask=133 0 0
Edit: I noticed you don't have rw.

Do you have ntfs-3g installed?

Can you mount it manually ?
do it good first, it will be faster than do it twice the saint

Also, if you are a Windows 8/8.1/10 user then make sure to disable fast startup:

Otherwise if you mount your windows partition read/write you will cause file-system damage that will require CHKDSK on the next Windows boot.
To get JUST a read only Windows mount, use "ntfs" instead of "ntfs-3g". "ntfs" is built into the kernel and is a read only module. "ntfs-3g" is a different module and is user-space to provide read/write access.
Edit: You may be by mistake using the built-in kernel "ntfs" instead of the user-space "ntfs-3g" Check your mount points, especially that the UUID is correct if using those.

This.

Defaults include rw, much to my annoyance (9/10 when I mount an ntfs partition, I only intend to read from it).
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

# Windows partitions
/dev/sda3 /mnt/windows_files ntfs-3g rw,uid=erikas,gid=users,dmask=022,fmask=133 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/windows_system ntfs-3g rw,uid=erikas,gid=users,dmask=022,fmask=133 0 0
yep, now it works. I must use "uid" as well thanks everyone
