This may go under hardware, if so say something and I will move, with that being said:

I try to mount hdb my Windows 2000 drive via command it gives my the following error Now I know atleast for hda1 and hdc it says something like "hda1 already mounted on /" if it truely is mounted already. So that leaves me to the conclusion that /mnt/Windows is busy but I don't see how or why. Either way then I try and same thing or if I try to mount it to /mnt/dvdrom. It all gives me the same thing. And there is absolutely nothing in the folders. So, I'm absolutely clueless. I have Kubuntu/Ubuntu 5.10 with kernel 2.6.12-9-386.

What is the output of:

xandor16@Lucy-II:~$ mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,notail)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=10M,mode=0755)

Hope this helps.

You must also specify the partition number where win2k resides in your mount command, i.e. for the primary partition:

lol Figures.... I did that and it works now the folder is locked by permissions. I don't know chmod that well, do you know what permission values I should use?

By default you cannot write to an ntfs partition. There are some workarounds but it's very risky to use them. If you want to, then try captive ntfs at your own risk.

I cannot read it either though.

You must be root (or use sudo) to read the mounted ntfs partition

Can you change the permissions of the folder, that way I don't have to open up konqueror under root or view it in command prompt?

Don't know if this is feasible for you or not but I mount my ntfs partitions with the option umask="222". Makes every file readable and executable by everyone.

That's perfect, I'll give it a shot.
