When I try to mount my HD (NTFS system) using the mount tool I get the message that I have to specify the file system. I don't know how or where to do this. I'll appreciate any help.

you could try mounting from the command line. Something like this

mount -rt ntfs /dev/hdx /mnt/*your_folder_name_here*

with x being replaced by the number of your harddrive. Or sdax if it's an external hard drive.

note that this will be read only. linux doesn't have full support for ntfs yet.
