If the partitions are ntfs you will have to load a module. If FC5 I yum kmod-ntfs. I think th repo is livna.

For Fedora Core (free version of redhat) the best way to install programs is yum(this should apply to redhat as well). To install the module I was talking about:

yum install kmod-ntfs

Yum draws its information from servers called repos or repositories. Which repositories you use is usually stored in /etc/yum.repos.d/(repo name). Livna is one of the more popular repos (at least for FC).
