Here's what I had to do to get any usb drive to be accessible on Windows 7
in fstab:

e:/ /mnt/e ntfs noacl, nouser, binary

obviously pick your own mount point(/mnt/e), source(e:/), and filesystem 
type (ntfs).
I put four of these lines in for e:/, f:/, g:/, h:/  to cover all 
(hopefully) eventualities.
May not be the only, best, approved, etc way but it got me going.

HTH,
roger wells
