Windows Drives Won't Mount

Field Note #1 @srs5694 2010-01-21

What types of disks are you using? Are your OS X boot disk and the problem disk of the same type (SATA, PATA, USB, etc.?)
What does the partition table on the problem disk look like? Typing "sudo fdisk /dev/disk1" in a Terminal will show this information, although the disk number might vary.
Do you see device files for the partitions in question? They should be called /dev/disk1s#, where # is a number that I can't predict with certainty, although it's probably 2, 3, or 5. The "1" in "disk1" might also be a different number.
