you cannot write on a ntfs partition (and I don't know of any module who does that). But you can read. To mount your ntfs partition in read-only mode :

find your ntfs partition by doing

fdisk -l

after mount it:

mount /dev/hd[x] /dev/win -t ntfs -o ro

if you don't have /dev/win directory, create it

I did setup ntfs on my collegues fedora machine once b4, try this site http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/redhat9.html

It has some special info on how to setup on fedora, this should sort your problem. Just matter of installing a ntfs module and then just mount ntfs drives but like the guy says on readable...
