This is the install I used to access NTFS with Linux.

Now everytime I restart back to Linux

I get :
[root@localhost will]# ls -l /mnt/windows
total 0

So I:
[root@localhost will]# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222
[root@localhost will]# ls -l /mnt/windows
total 1182312

So the thing is, how can I permently mount windows, everytime I reboot I have to redo those commands?

you need to edit your fstab in /etc/fstab
for now you can add the line:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro 0 0
There is a better line, but this works
edit: Works when you are root I should say, read the man pages on fstab and figure out the needed option to allow users to use it.
