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.

germinate-pkg-diff
GERMINATE-PKG-DIFF(1) Ubuntu General Commands Manual GERMINATE-PKG-DIFF(1)
NAME
germinate-pkg-diff -- compare seeds against currently installed packages
SYNOPSIS
germinate-pkg-diff [-l file] [-m {i|r|d}] [-a arch] [seeds]
DESCRIPTION
germinate-pkg-diff compares the expansion of a list of seed packages against the set of packages installed on the current system. When con-
structing seeds for a software distribution, it can be used to iteratively find packages installed on developers' systems that should be
included in the seeds.
A list of seeds against which to compare may be supplied as non-option arguments. Seeds from which they inherit will be added automatically.
The default is 'desktop'.
OPTIONS
-l, --list file
Read the list of currently installed packages from file. The default is to read the output of dpkg --get-selections, and any supplied
file should be in the same format.
-m, --mode {i|r|d}
Set the output mode as follows:
i Show the dpkg selections needed to install just these seeds. List unseeded but installed files as ``deinstall'', and seeded but
uninstalled files as ``install''.
r List unseeded but installed files as ``install'', and seeded but uninstalled files as ``deinstall''.
d Show the differences between the packages specified by the seeds and the list of installed packages, in a somewhat diff-like for-
mat.
-S, --seed-source source,...
Fetch seeds from the specified sources. The default is http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/.
-s, --seed-dist dist
Fetch seeds for distribution dist. The default is ubuntu.precise.
-d, --dist dist,...
Operate on the specified distributions. The default is precise. Listing multiple distributions may be useful, for example, when exam-
ining both a released distribution and its security updates.
-a, --arch arch
Operate on architecture arch. The default is i386.
BUGS
--mode r is useless as dpkg --set-selections input.
