Did the system crash before these problems began and that is why you are using the EasyRE Media? If so that is the problem. The system crashed and the disk did not get shut down properly. Linux cant access a Windows drive that was not shut down properly. If you explain what started this whole thing, we might be able to assist you.
Then I would say that the system didnt shut down correctly despite it being a working system. You can replicate the results using a Ubuntu LiveCD. If that cant mount the drive, then Windows is not shutting down properly at all.
