What is the exact error message?
NTFS is the name of the file system: New Technology File System used by Windows NT4, 2000, XP and Vista.
 
What kind of hard disks are they? Parallel ATA or Serial ATA drives?
Parallel ATAs need to be configured as Master and Slave via Jumpers, SATA drives can be plugged in without any config. Make sure boot disk goes into first SATA slot.
