mount(8) is your friend.

Mounting an NTFS drive

  1. Go to http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ to get the NTFS driver for your kernel (assuming you haven't compiled it in yourself)
  2. mkdir /mnt/windows
  3. mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows

If you want non-root users to be able to read it, add "-o umask=022" to the line. Remember, a Mask? is the inverse of the bits you want - to get 755 (root RWX, group/all RX, good for dirs), subtract 888-755=022.
