External Hard drive won't mount
i have a Simple Tech hard drive that i use between two computers. it is formatted to ntfs. i have a dell desktop with Ubuntu 7.10 and Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP Home. and i have a laptop with Ubuntu 7.10 and Ubuntu 8.04. the laptop recognizes the hard drive on both 8.04 and 7.10 but my desktop only recognizes the external hard drive on windows. Ubuntu will not recognize it on my desktop. should i try to force mount it. if so, ill need instructions please. or should i try an application/program to recognize it.

BLUEPROXIMITY(1) BLUEPROXIMITY(1)
NAME
blueproximity - locks/unlocks your desktop tracking a bluetooth device
SYNOPSIS
blueproximity
DESCRIPTION
blueproximity helps you adding a little more security to your desktop. It does so by detecting one of your bluetooth devices, most likely
your mobile phone, and keeping track of its distance. If you move furter than a certain distance from your computer for longer than a given
time, it automatically locks your desktop (or starts an arbitrary shell command). The "distance" must be specified as a measure of blue-
tooth signal strength rather than in meters, but BlueProximity's setup procedure helps with this by showing you an indicator of current
signal strength. Once away, if you return nearer than a given level for a set time your computer unlocks magically without any interaction
(or starts any other shell command you want).
Have a look at the package documentation in your distribution's doc directory, likely /usr/share/doc/blueproximity, to read the complete
html manual or visit the website http://blueproximity.sourceforge.net .
OPTIONS
blueproximity doesn't support any command-line parameter.
FILES
~/.blueproximity/*.conf Config files for each profile.
