Change the settings in your /etc/fstab file to be able to read. I am not sure if writing to NTFS is a good idea . . . it may cause damage to the filesystem.

It will depend on if you have support in your kernel for that operation.Im not completely sure if the current driver supports writing though.

Insert module insmod ntfs

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/winloser

that would mount the first partition of device a in directory /winloser

The module can be easily obtained.
http://rpmfind.net has source and rpms.

When you start playing around (especially with making modules) BACK UP YOUR DATA!
