Well, you could always install ntfs-config

Type in a terminal:

sudo aptitude install ntfs-config

And it will allow you to specify a mount partition and write permissions easily, might as well make your drive appear again ;)

well guys, after days of finding wth is happening to my drive, i finally found out that thare is a problem with the hdd partition where there is a small linux ext partition on it where it overide my second partition, hehe i also dont even know how it happen since im still new to this so i guess must be some stupid move hahaha... there is no way i can revive that partition again but what left is to recover back all the data from it..
