usb-host-mode usb-peripherals huawei-u8160 ntfs

                          I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2 .

I've recently been testing things on my recently activated OTG I've tried to connect a USB Portable HDD, However when I connect the HDD the LED flashes like it's reading/writing , dmesg notices it :

     [12, khubd] [10776.834610] usb 1-1.4: new full speed USB device using msm_hsusb_host and address 40
    
     [12, khubd] [10777.015514] usb 1-1.4: not running at top speed;
     connect to a high speed hub
     
     [12, khubd] [10777.018517] usb 1-1.4: default language 0x0409
     
     [12, khubd] [10777.021505] usb 1-1.4: udev 40, busnum 1, minor = 39
     
     [12, khubd] [10777.021544] usb 1-1.4: New USB device found,
     idVendor=174c, idProduct=5106
     
     [12, khubd] [10777.021567] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings:
     Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=1
     
     [12, khubd] [10777.021589] usb 1-1.4: Product: StoreJet Transcend
     
     [12, khubd] [10777.021607] usb 1-1.4: Manufacturer: StoreJet
     Transcend
     
     [12, khubd] [10777.021624] usb 1-1.4: SerialNumber:     
     WD-WXF1E32VNMN1
     
     [12, khubd] [10777.022149] usb 1-1.4: uevent
     
     done.

that is what dmesg says directly after connecting.

and when I write lsusb on terminal emulator it returns :

     Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
     
     Bus 001 Device 041: ID 058f:9254
     
     Bus 001 Device 042: ID 174c:5106

one of them is always there,and another one is the USB Hub ,and another is the USB HDD

I already successfully mounted an NTFS Flash Drive (Fromatted using Minitool partition wizard ,mounted using Paragon NTFS&HFS+ ) then the problem isn't the File System

----------
**EDIT :**

Error when trying to mount USB flash drive that is NTFS formatted :

    mount: mounting /dev/block/uba1 on /sdcard/data failed: Invalid argument

Error when trying to mount NTFS formatted portable HDD :

    mount: mounting /dev/block/uba on /sdcard/data failed: No medium found

that means that the error in the HDD isn't with the NTFS file system.

----------
**EDIT #2:**

I've tried this method  but when I try to mount it it gives me this error :

    Failed to mount '/dev/block/uba': No medium found
