Not mounting/finding 1TB NTFS drive

You can try installing the package ntfs-config to see if it is detected and if it is, than you can use that tool to configure it.

    I am having trouble with Ubuntu recognizing/finding/mounting one of my hard drives. I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. I had Ubuntu 10.04 and all drives showed up under "Places" I could click on any of my Windows/NTFS drives and they would mount as they should. I have since updated to Ubuntu 10.10. One of my drives no longer shows up in "Places" or in Nautilus. I can open gparted and it is listed there, but if I try to click the mount button, I get an error.

    I am currently at work and can not post any screenshots or errors, but will happily do so later. I was just hoping that someone might be able to give me something to try when I get home.

    250gig SATA hard drive (Windows7/NTFS) - recognized/mountable 200gig PATA hard drive (Ubuntu 10.10) - recognized (obviously) 1TB SATA hard drive (NTFS) - not recognized/won't mount

    Thanks!

    There exists no ntfs-3g kernel module, as it uses fuse.

    I'm not sure that is the best option here. As I said, I was able to access the drive fine in 10.04. After my upgrade to 10.10, the drive is no longer available to mount.
