When ever I try to run some executable from Windows drive, terminal says "Permission denied".
I am using Ubuntu 10.10. Facing the same problem when I try to run some program from CodeBlocks or Codelite.
Code:anirban@anirban-Studio-1555:~$ cd /media/WORKS
anirban@anirban-Studio-1555:/media/WORKS$ gcc a.c
anirban@anirban-Studio-1555:/media/WORKS$ ./a.out
bash: ./a.out: Permission denied
anirban@anirban-Studio-1555:/media/WORKS$
What are your execution permission on the directory ("ls -al")?
I got the following..
Code:anirban@anirban-Studio-1555:~$ ls -al /media/
total 236
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-12-16 19:49 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 2010-12-03 10:41 ..

I'm assuming that directory is mapped? If so have a look in your fstab, is that partition mounted with noexec?
Also does the a.out file have execution privs?
I think the partition does not have exec permission.
Any help on this please?
just move the file to your hard drive, chmod +x a.out, and run
Ubuntu 10.10 changed the default mount options for ntfs filesystems.

I hope it can help you...
I believe the permission denied is coming in by not being mounted to the /media drive. Try mounting it first ;)
Alternative; copy the file from Windows to Ubuntu; then do whatever you need with it!
