Attachment not working, post on some site and give link!.

Isn't it auto-mounting? Don't you see the volumes on desktop? Check for installed packages namely hal, fuse and ntfs-3g.

Add the following line to /etc/fstab file
/dev/sdb2 /some/folder/to/be/used/for/mount/ ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
*if it isnt a SATA disk, it will be hdb2.
