Hello,

What distro are you using? You most likely need to install the ntfs-3g package on your system in order to be able to read/write to it, and mount it.

Cheers,

Josh

What version of debian are you using? Here is a reference for you - http://wiki.debian.org/NTFS

You may be able to mount it for copying using:

Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfsdrive
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdaX /mnt/ntfsdrive
Replace sdaX with the actual node of the drive you want to mount. You can then access it with:

Code:
cd /mnt/ntfsdrive
I've used this for quick access to NTFS drives for readonly use without ntfs-3g. I have no idea how robust it is and so wouldn't recommend using it for R/W access.
