Freecom 500GB External Hard Drive not visible
I've bought a new Freecom 500GB external hard drive (formatted as ntfs) which is visible in Windows, but which isn't getting on with Ubuntu at all. First it was automatically detected, then it was mounted but not accessible, now as far as Ubuntu is concerned it simply isn't there. I've trawled the forums and tried a few things, but no joy yet:
My fstab file reads:

dmesg seems to give some indication of whats going on, but I can't decipher it:

When I ran this:
sudo mkdir /media/sda1
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
I got this:
unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'
I also tried this:
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
but got this:
mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
Can someone give the benefit of their wisdom to a floundering novice?
Thanks,
G
