google fedora ntfs, you will find a link to install related rpms. The other solution would be to compile a kernel with ntfs support built-in

I found this website when looking for help with web server configuration. It has a section on NTFS support. I hope it helps.

No mistakes, ok i hope you have REAd the instructions and loaded the correct PRM, and you ran the which.sh file... If not, do this first. you also have to follow the command on the page to confirm that hda1 is your XP Partition..
once you have done that do the following as root
cd /media
mkdir winxp
Now you have a directory /media/winxp
now type in: (I use gedit as its simple and easy feel free to use your preferred text editor)
gedit /etc/fstab
as the last line add the following
/dev/hda1 /media/winxp ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
then at the end of this line press enter so there is a new empty line at the end of the file...
now save and exit from gedit (or your preferred editor)
now back at the SU command prompt type in
mount /media/winxp
If all goes well you should see no messages
now type in:
ls -l /media/winxp
you should see your windows folder...
REMEMBER this is READ ONLY you CANNOT Copy files from linux to your XP Partition this way only from XP to linux
