hi,

FC2 does not support NTFS.
here you can find how you will enable NTFS support on FC2

NTFS mount support is not installed in the default kernel. You have to turn on NTFS support and compile a new kernel. Or you can just install the NTFS driver (just search for linux ntfs driver on google, the site will come right up) via RPM, which is what I did... but this way I was not able to automount with /etc/fstab and just added a mount command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Seems rather crude (I AM a newbie afterall), but everytime I compile a new kernel something else goes wrong...
