I am not able to start Windows and am using a DVD copy of Ubuntu to start up.

I see my 750 GB Hard Disk, but if I click it i get this error:

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error
Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input/output error  
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware.  
In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important!  
If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). 
Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.  

After googling for a while I think I need to do sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs but when I try that:

E: Package 'ntfsprogs' has no installation candidate

My problem is a lot like this thread

    Hi, A friend of mine destroyed his Nvidia RAID1 array somehow and in trying to fix it, he ended up with a non-working array. Because of the RAID metadata, the actual disk data was stored at an offset from the beginning. I was able to identify this offset with dd and a hexeditor and then I used losetup… >>> More
