Redhat do not supply an ntfs module with their kernel - linux ntfs code is
too experimental. 

However, linux can read ntfs partitions no worries. If your game enough to
try kernel 2.5.2, it has newer NTFS support which supposidly can write
aswell. I havnt tested this.

You will need to compile a kernel yourself, with the NTFS option selected
from the "File system options" menu in make xconfig. When this kernel is up
and running, it should only be a matter of:

  # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/nt -t ntfs -o ro

Or perhaps even just:

  # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/nt
