frank@frank-ThinkCentre-M71e:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/usb [sudo] password for frank: Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. frank@frank-ThinkCentre-M71e:~$ |

@Ivtec, that message will appear if you try to mount an already mounted usb device.
Open up a file manager and check if you can access the mounted hard drive. An eject button should appear next to a mounted device. Clicking the eject button is to unmount that device. |

Several makes claim not to be compatible with Linux for some reason but still work according to majority reports. I would search out similar threads to the one below as the solution you need is likely to be in one of them, or contact HP support.
