Is it an NTFS hard drive ?
Then you need to install ntfs-3g.
It depends on your distribution how to do this.
Kind regards

Look at the output of the command mount, if it is mounted, it will tell you.

Plugin the drive, open a terminal and type
It will show information about the mounted drives.
Post the output.
