Mount an external NTFS usb Drive

STEP 1:Plug in your USB drive and got to the TERMINAL and type in "dmesg",you can see some similar output as pasted below,

"SCSI device sda: 39070080 512-byte hdwr sectors (20004 MB) sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 USB Mass Storage device found at 2"
Note the line where it says "sda:sda1".It states that its a sda disk pinting to sda1

STEP 2:Now its pretty straight forward,

mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /some/folder
