Firstly, with Edgy, disks-admin was unmaintained, so it was dropped from GNOME, according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1721261

1. You can install pysdm (Storage Device Manager) and gparted (Gnome Partition Manager) through Synaptic Package Manager (from the menu in Gnome - System, Administration). You will need to enter your user password to gain root access.
   

   sudo aptitude install pysdm gparted

2. Run the Storage Device Manager, configure the drives and then mount them. The you can access them using GParted. They are typically mounted in the filesystem: /media/hda1 and /media/hdd1 etc.
3. Install ntfs-3g: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
