problems mounting ntfs partition

I am using fedora core 4 and have windows partition that i would like to mount. i was able to mount it before when the system was first install.. but since i have reinstall the system and updated everything. i dont seem to have the ablilty to mount the windows patition anymore as i keep getting the following error

Code:

[root@localhost /]# mount -t /dev/hda5 ntfs /mnt/win
mount: unknown filesystem type '/dev/hda5'

am not sure if its a problem with the kernel or not.. as a see a slight error message appear when the system is loading up... relating to somthing trying to be place into the kernel... anyhow anyone have any ideas how i can get around this? using kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4smp

Your mount command options are a bit scrambled. The proper format would be:

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/win

Hope this helps.

Did you first install the NTFS kernel module?
