Should be /dev/sd*...?
Unless ubuntu does things differently. When you plug it in ru:
sudo dmesg | tail

This should tell you the location of your hardrive; be sure to mount the
partition  not the device eg.
/dev/sdx1 not /dev/sx sdx is the device, sx1 is the file system with
your data, or sx2 or whatever.

Shouldn't gnome mount it automatically for you? If not, do something
like
sudo mount -t ntfs device mmntpoint.

man mount for more details.
