Note: Writing to ntfs is not advised but can be done, in any case be sure to backup important data.

First you'll need the ntfs driver installed.
Then as root fdisk -l - will return a list of hdd/partitions on your system.
Without knowing the exact o/p of above, its diffcult, but you need to do something like:-

mkdir /mnt/hdd2
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hdd2

The above gives a mount point of /mnt/hdd2 then the mount command obviosly mounts it!
Check to see what the system has mounted. just type mount on command line.

whoooo !

After a long procedure of installing NTFS driver and then latest FUSE, i finally able to mount my sata drive.

I have used the command you told me james.

mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd2

That was a huge process specially for a novice like me, but i am happy that i learned something.

Thanks james.farrow
You are good.
