You can mount it in read only mode
For it, first you have to create a directory as mount point:
sudo mkdir /media/youruser/newdisk
Later
sudo mkdir /media/*youruser*/newdisk
Later, mount the drive with:
sudo mount -t "ntfs" -ro "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda4" "/media/youruser/newdisk"
Change
sudo mount -t "ntfs" -ro "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda4" "/media/*youruser*/newdisk"
Change words with **
, with your user nameuser name. /dev/sda4/dev/sda4
could be also different, depending on the partition is the one where windows 8 is installed.

and type appropriate user name.
Also, note, with this method, you cannot edit, write or create new files in the windows drive.
