it seems that your kernel dosen't support ntfs partition.

so first update your kernel and then try to mount the ntfs partition by either mount or by going to the /etc/fstab file.

try these addresses....

follow the following steps


In step four of the following tutorial, replace hdx1 with your actual partition found in step two. For example hda1, hdb2, sda1, etc.

1.Open a terminal and type sudo su
2.Type fdisk -l (note which partition contains the NTFS file system)
3.Type mkdir /media/windows (This directory is where we will access the partition)
4.Type mount /dev/hdx1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
5.Type cd /media/windows (Moves us to the windows directory)
6.Type ls to list the files on the NTFS partition
