It would be helpful if you could post the exact command you are entering to mount the drive and the resulting error messages.

Ahem. Do not post duplicate topics. It is annoying and doesn't get your question answered any quicker.

In neither posts did you say what you tried, or why it didn't work. Do you know what the partition is called? If it is called sda1:

Code:

# mkdir -p /mnt/sda1
# mount /{dev,mnt}/sda1

(the '#' indicates a root shell, you do not type '#')
if that fails with an error message such as an unknown filesystem, then maybe you have not got the ntfs module loaded. Try:

Code:

# modprobe ntfs

You could try ntfs-3g at ntfs-3g.org then you can write to ntfs also all the details are there how to use it.
