I have a 10 GB UDMA IDE drive formatted with Windows.  The first partition
is FAT32, and the second is NTFS.  I can successfully mount the first, but
not the second.  Any ideas?

Suse 7.2 on i86
the drive is mounted on /dev/hdc, and I CAN see hda1, but not hda2

if the drive is /dev/hdc, the partitions should be hdc1 and hdc2 ;-)
in the topic you write about extended partition, if your NTFS partition
is a logical partition inside an extended partition, it will be at
/dev/hdc5
(hdx1-hdx4 are the four primary partitions (on a dos partitioned drive),
one of these can be an extended one, and its logical partitions begins
at hdx5)

NTFS support in Linux is very incomplete. It is not recommended to
mount NTFS read-write unless ou are experienced kernel hacker and are
willing to fix bugs and withstand disk crashes.

I think that NTFS support is not compilied into your kernel by default.

Of course you cannot. First Windows logical drive in extended partition
on /dev/hdc should be /dev/hdc5
