It looks like you know enough to setup /etc/fstab currectly, but in case,
you need something like this to mount a ntfs partition (taken from my
laptop):

/dev/hda3 /windows ntfs defaults,ro,uid=45714 0 2

which means mount /dev/hda3 (3rd partition) on the directory /windows
using ntfs filesystem, read-only, with that UID, and some options.

NTFS you only ever want to mount read-only from Linux.


Now, assuming you've got that there, and it's not mounting, I found the
kernel that comes with red-hat doesn't have ntfs read support compiled in.
You'll probably need to recompile your kernel.
