I have a harddrive with windows installed on it,can i mount it the same way i would mount a flashdrive ( mount /dev/sdd1 /media/disk ) without damaging the files on it.
thx.
I mean mounting it so i can view the video/audio not so i can use windows

Yes you can. If it's an ntfs-formatted drive you need an app called ntfs-3g to be able to access the files.

I've always used mount -t ntfs and its worked fine for me. Why the extra dependency?
If its not NTFS then I've had consistent luck with mount -t vfat
