Can access only 1 of 2 ntfs partitions


Sorry made a misstake I have 3 ntfs partitions and can access only one of them.
I'm using Fedora core 5. Followed instactions from: I downloaded and installed NTFS RPM for my kernel version and processor type.But when I rebooted system I was able to just acces 1 ntfs partition.
My fstab.conf looks like this:
LABEL=/12 / ext3 defaults 1 1
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/data ntfs suid,dev,ro,defaults,umask=0222,exec 0 0
/dev/hdc5 /mnt/tmp ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
And when I run: /sbin/fdisk -l it gives me:
Disk /dev/hdc: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 9861 79208451 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc2 9862 14946 40845262+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdc5 9862 14946 40845231 7 HPFS/NTFS

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 4979 39993786 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 4980 5241 2104515 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 5242 9729 36049860 83 Linux

so the one with windows folder loads but other 2 hdc1 and hdc5 gives me following error:
mount: /dev/hdc1 is not a valid block device
mount: /dev/hdc5 is not a valid block device
Please someone help. What did I do wrong?

Do the mountpoints /mnt/data and /mnt/tmp exist???

I have found good results mounting ntfs partitions using, for example;
Code:
/dev/hda2         /media/windowsxp        auto    exec,noauto,user,ro,umask=0 0 0
$ cat /etc/filesystems
ext3
ext2
nodev proc
nodev devpts
iso9660
udf
cdfs
vfat
ntfs
hfs
