mounting ntfs partition on dual boot

[Bob Hartung <rwhart@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
  What is the procedure to mount an ntfs partition on a dual boot 
laptop.  I tried
             mount -t ntfs /dev/hda4 /mnt/win
to no avail.  I suspect that I will have to recompile the kernel with 
ntfs support but is that the only (& very painful) way when all I want 
to do us salvage some of my son's files before blowing the entire HD 
away and reinstalling FC3.

  I have FC4 installed and running without a hitch but will downgrade 
to FC3 due in part to all the problems discussed on the list.

Thanks,

Bob Hartung
