Your best guide is the documentation included in linux. To use it just say man followed bt the command you want help on. In the first case say of mounting a hdd do a man mount and you will get all the info. To mount NTFS partitions download the ntfs file system rpm and install it by
# rpm -ivh kernel.............
then make dir in your /mnt dir
# mkdir /mnt/ntfs1
#mkdir /mnt/ntfs2


Now mount the partitions by
#mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs1

and so on . To do this automatically add an entry into the /etc/fstab

one option is the man pages in the linux distro just type man followed by the page you want or check out this forum all the threads here have q`s by diff users on linux
