Ok, have sobered up now and can help with point 5, mounting the ntfs drive

First we need to check a few things, if you could open a console and type in:

cat /proc/filesystems

and tell us if you see NTFS in the list, this will tell us if you already have the necessary drivers for reading NTFS (from what I can tell it is most likely you will, but best to check first).

Then if you could type in the following, you may need to su first as punky suggests:

fdisk -l

Look for the line where the system has NTFS in it and make a note of the device, which will be something like /dev/hda1, if you're not sure post the list (or pm it).

Once we've done that we can sort out how to get it mounted.
