Easy way is to format the thing FAT32 so Windoze doesn't get upset and
mount that under UBUNTU


mkdir /media/external


sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/external -o
uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137

(picking the correct device of course).
You can read NTFS drives, unsure if you can write to them.
