Probably your external hard disk is comming up on /dev/sda, you will need to fdisk the drive to change it to a native linux type, but you should be able to mount the windows partition that likely exists on it (probably /dev/sda1). mount /dev/sda1 <your mountpoint here> if you need a mountpoint.... mkdir /mnt/externaldisk ofcourse these things need to be done as root. If the above works, you might want to add it to your fstab, so that it automagicly apears.
