So the partition is there but I don't have a /dev/hdb1. How do I figure out what went wrong? I'm also new to having Gnome mount drives, so where can I configure gnome so I don't have to mount my drive manualy and I can let users access the drive?

How does this help if I don't have a /dev/hdb1?

I added it to fstab anyway and again got the same error when I tried to mount it (root# mount /mnt/Windows).

Use makedev to re-create the device in dev section.

Maybe, there's a bug with the kernel-module-ntfs that you install, the solution to that would be to wait until is repaired
