Good night then! ;)

In the morning, try
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.back
sudo kate /etc/fstab

But then again, you shouldn't need the above. Not all usb disks are easily 
recognised.

So, find out what your usb disk name is then:
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/whatevernameyou'vefound  /media/winusbmediskie

If it doesn't work try adding -o force at the end of the line, like so:
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/whatevernameyou'vefound  /media/winusbmediskie  -o 
force

(just one line)
