Good, so you've got quite a few partitions on the disk that should be 
mountable.  Next, make sure you've got ntfs support in your kernel with 
`grep ntfs /proc/filesystems`.  If you get no output, you don't have support 
for ntfs and that's the root of the problem.  

If that's the case, load the driver with `modprobe ntfs`.  (Redo the grep 
above if you want.)  Then mount up the fs and you'll be good to go.  If you 
want that driver to load on boot, just add it to the list in /etc/modules.
