I don't know if this will help you, but to see what the linux kernal sees
try this
____________________
dmesg | grep hd
-----------------------
This is what mine shows:
_____________________________________________________
bash$ dmesg |grep hd
hda: WDC AC21000H, ATA DISK drive
hdb: CD-ROM CDU76E, ATAPI CDROM drive
hda: WDC AC21000H, 1033MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=525/64/63
hdb: ATAPI 4X CD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache
 hda: hda1 hda2
-------------------------------------------------------
As you can see my cdrom is *hdb* then you can try:
_________________________
mount /dev/hdb /cd
------------------------

the long version of mount for the cdrom  would be:
____________________________________
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cd
-----------------------------
As you can also see in the above display of dmesg my hard drive is
partitioned (hda: hda1 hda2) to mount this:
_______________________________
mount /dev/hda1 /hd                  <-- my dos/windows partition
-------------------------
or
____________________________
mount /dev/hda2 /hd                  <--my linux partition
-----------------------
If the above mounts will not work for the hard drive you may have to
insmod(install a module) for the ntfs file system.
