Mount windows partition as read & write and you should able to access windows NTFS partition

Install kernel-ntfs from this site http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ (download file)

Code:
rpm -ivh kernel-ntfs.rpm
First load ntfs driver (if it is not done)
Code:
modprobe ntfs
Mount /dev/hda (C
Code:
mkdir /mnt/ntfs
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda /mnt/ntfs
Now go to /mnt/ntfs
Code:
cd /mnt/ntfs
ls -l
mkdir test
You can entry to /etc/fstab to mount the same:
Code:
vi /etcfstab
Add snippet as follows
Code:
/dev/hda        /mnt/ntfs             ntfs    defaults        0 0
