If you have installed the module type:

Code:

# modprobe ntfs

If the module loads successfully you will be able to mount a NTFS partition just like any other filesystem type:

Code:

# mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb /mnt/ntfs

Then edit /etc/fstab and append the following line to have your NTFS partition mounted during each boot:

/dev/hdb /mnt/ntfs ntfs defaults 0 0

Modify "hdb" according to your needs.

When I give modprobe
it happens
modprobe ntfs
FATAL: Module ntfs not found.

How did you install the driver? Also, are you sure it was the correct version for your kernel?
Finally, what are the output of the following two commands?

Code:

find /lib/modules/ -name 'ntfs.ko'
uname -r

Assuming tht you had installed windows first and later other OS's. To mount Windows drives you can use this

Code:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
