I'm using the mount command on his computer, installed kubuntu-7.10 on it.
His XP system crashed, I put the drive in hdb behind Kubuntu to see if I 
could read it
No matter what mount command I give it, it has problems with reading 
NTFS part.
I installed ntfs3g-config but it won't show files in /media/hdb1
