Enable the NTFS module by adding
/sbin/modprobe ntfs
to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

If mandrake does not recognize the new HD on boot time, you'll need to put it manually in fstab.
First of all, make an entry where you want the HD to be mounted (/mnt/whatever for example).
Edit /etc/fstab and add the entry there. You can copy all the options from the "old" HD and just change device name and mount point.
As root mount the HD and enjoy

Hope it helps

There is a section in the file on filesystem modules you can just uncomment it there or put it anywhere you like.
