Mounting a problem HDD

First off, apologies if this is the "wrong" forum--feel free to move me if I'm in the wrong place.

I'm trying to rescue a problem HDD using Knoppix. Specifically, Windows XP, NTFS formatted, off a laptop.

Currently, Windows won't boot off the laptop after it was inadvertantly dropped. However, the disk does appear to spin up, with none of the clicking noises of a horrible head-crash death. Also, Knoppix appears to be able to at least access the partition table for the drive, which I take as a positive sign. But I can't mount the drive. So wondering if any of you fine people can spot something I am doing wrong or can try. Or am I out of luck recovering this?

Knoppix does recognize the drive at startup, but when I try to navigate to it in konqueror, it tells me "no items - No files - No folders" at the bottom of the window.

Hopefully relevant data:
