Well..

Have you tried to simply plug it in ? Does it show someting on screen ?

Could you paste the output of `dmesg` just after plugging your hard drive in ?

Edit fstab... (/etc/fstab) (with root pivileges)

If harddrive is connected as primary slave write:
/dev/hdb /mnt/ntfs ntfs defaults,umask=000,ro 0 0

If its connected as primary master write:
/dev/hda /mnt/ntfs ntfs defaults,umask=000,ro 0 0

(Secondary Master: hdc, Secondary Slave: hdd)

If you have partitions on disk:
hda1 - first primary partition, hda5 - first logical partition
hda2 - second primary partition... (on disk which is connected as Primary Master)

and create mount point.. (root privileges required)
you@linux:# mkdir /mnt/ntfs

...and restart PC or type:
you@linux:# mount /mnt/ntfs

Can you help with this problem?
