No because all users will be penalized with a delay only because someone want to use NTFS on linux.

P.s. if that solution doesn't work:
edit file /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and add at the end (before the line : exit 0) the line:
Code: 
mount /dev/sdc1 /media/hdd2

It did not worked for me , maybe l am doing it wrong .. Any help , any simple explanation will be good . Thanks for any help.

This code is not for your configuration.
Try this:
mount /dev/sda1 /media/hdd
Where /dev/sda1 is your HDD (see how in the Black Hole Devices Manger) and /media/hdd (or /media/usb) - your mount point.

Make easier:
1. Format your HDD via PC in NTFS (for example) so as to have a single partition.
2. In the Black Hole Devices Manger see your HDD. (dev/sdb1 - for example).
3. Installing on your PC a text editor for UNIX-format (EditPad for example). Make it the default editor for Total Commander.
3. Connect to your receiver via FTP of Total Commander. Open the file for editing /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh (select and press F4).
4. Enter your line (for example):
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/hdd
5. Save. The file attribute should remain the same - 755!

sda, sdb, sdc - it's available drives connected to your device.
sdb1 ... sdb5 - is available partitions on your HDD (sdb - for an example)
That's all that I can to help. :(
P.S. Excuse me for my English.

Your HDD (dev/sdb5) may be mounted via Black Hole Devices Manger? If not, then your disk not formatted correctly. This is the reason. Format the HDD again with a single partition.
To continue please write in oldfox_5@mail.ru

Fantome posted the question incorrectly into a thread about HDD which probably mislead you or you just did not pay attention when reading. Anyway, we were talking about USB flash disk not HDD. :victory:
