can't mount 1TB NTFS drive

Question

why is this happening? ntfs drive.

edit: I did NOT hibernate my Windows and fast startup is off. also this is a USB disk not a HARD DRIVE

In that case, see here. It's pretty much the same answer though, use ntfsfix: http://askubuntu.com/questions/500647/unable-to-mount-ntfs-external-hard-drive — mchid, Apr 12 '17 at 02:27
Look at the system log (usually /var/log/syslog) and dmesg right after that error comes up - what do they say? If it's input/output errors that points to bad hardware, or at least bad USB connections. — Xen2050, Apr 12 '17 at 02:37

Install ntfs-3g package, by running

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

and then run

sudo ntfsfix /dev/[DRIVE_NAME]

Example:
