Please help me mount my data HD

[Kim Briggs]

 >>>>> I have a Dell Precision with two SCSI HDs - a 36 GB HD (onto
which I installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition) and a data 137 GB
HD, which I left alone.  I thought that the installer would
automatically reformat both drives - instead, it left the 137 GB HD
alone, and when I try to access it or view it, I get an error message
which states that the drive has the NTFS file system and is therefore
umountable.

Hi Edgar,

I am not a hardware expert, but after 6-8 years of experience, I can
now work with multiple hard drives under linux pretty easily.  I have
made a short list of the GUI tools I use here:
