You can recompile the kernel source and in the step "make menuconfig" you can enable ntfs support. The basic steps are: go to /usr/src/linux-2.4.xx Open the file Makefile using an editor and change EXTRAVERSION. Just change the word "custom" to "ntfs-enabled" so that you can identify this kernel later properly. Then issue the following commands: make clean make mrproper make oldconfig make menuconfig make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install
You will find the ntfs option in the filesystem branch in menuconfig. You should have packages like kernel-source, kernel-headers, glibc, glibc-devel, ncurses, gcc, binutils installed in your system to do recompilation of kernel. Do rpm -qa <package-name> for that, if you are using Fedora. These packages are generally installed on your system by default. If you do not want to take all that trouble just google for ntfs support for Linux kernel and install the module. But I believe that the recompilation method is a better one.
