NTFS read support works under Linux. NTFS r/w support is 
dubious.

You should be able to add the correct kernel module for 
Fedora Core 4 (this will require a reboot) to read ntfs file 
systems. Note, you can write to an ntfs file system from 
Linux, but this is not recommended. You can choose to just 
enbale r/o access or r/w but r/w is not recommended.

Here are a bunch of links with information about getting 
this to work:

http://www.fedorafaq.org/#ntfs
http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#4.1_can_i_mount_an_ntfs_volume

By going to http://www.google.com/ and searching on "linux 
ntfs support" you'll find all this information and more.

Best of luck,
