A couple things: One - the first error was because you have to specify the partition number, which you figured out in subsequent replies...
Try this... command : 'mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/myWinHDD' Mount points should be kept under /mnt It's a convention. You should not try to create a new /mount directory. It's just bad practice; you should use the normal convention, and in the end once you do get used to Linux, will be confusing when you look back at that. To trying to denigrate the helpful assistance of Jason, because his method "will" work. If you do not have NTFS support loaded, the error message will tell you. It will be similar to "mount: fs type goofs not supported by kernel" If you get that message, that means you have to load the support module for NTFS.
