How to mount second ntfs HDD?

I have two HDD in my PC, one for operating systems and the other for all the large files which is formatted with NTFS (for Windows compatibility). I already have ntfs-3g installed and can mount my other operating system partition, but I have no clue how to mount my second HDD in my PC.

Re: How to mount second ntfs HDD?

Assuming you only have these 2 drives hooked up (no external drives etc), your second drive is likely /dev/sdb. You can get a partition list by doing as root:
fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Then run ntfs-3g /dev/sdbX where X is the partition number you want to mount.
