I agree with the OP that it probably should mount an internal IDE drive somewhere other than /media but I suspect that he originally mounted it as a user and that's where it appears. The man pages for ntfs-3g and if needed, http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html should be all he needs to get it to mount where his heart desires.
