Hey guys, i'll go directly to the point.
I've been searching, so far with no results, about configuring the system to identify a ntfs disk as a "disk" and mount it as it.
I've installed ntfs-3g and i'm able to access the content of a ntfs disk, bymapping it to a folder (mounting it for exemple /disk/windows ). But i don't want that. I remember when i used ubuntu a few months ago, ntfs disks appeared in the desktop, with the disk icon and were not a folder like the solution i always find for archlinux.
Isn't it possible to do this as well here?
I hope you guys understand what i mean.

You are misled by a graphical representation. Partitions on Linux are *always* mounted onto a directory; they're simply merged into the file system. You'll never mount a disk like in Windows; that's not how it works.
The icons you saw on Ubuntu in reality link to a mount point (a directory) in /media, probably created as needed. But the principle is exactly the same.
