I just mounted my ntfs partition without any probs. Try putting the line /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 0
(change /dev/sda) and then mounting it. Also: You said that you're running Fedora, right? It's possible that the Fedora kernel does not support ntfs by default (though I think that's unlikely. I've had no problems with my Mandrake 2.6.3-7 Kernel). Do this, run your "diskdruid program as root user ans see if that detects your ntfs partition or not. Diskdruid is a partition manager GUI that's easy to use and should set up your ntfs properly. If not, you may have to recompile your kernel with ntfs, or use that "captive-ntfs" thingie that other fellow mentioned in the last post. Let me know what happens.
