Hello:
As long as you make a mount point and edit your /etc/fstab file correctly you should be fine.
for example:
from a terminal logged in as root using su -

mkdir /mnt/win

then add the following line to your /etc/fstab file

/dev/hdXn /mnt/win ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Where /dev/hdXn is the partition that you want to mount

From www.ntfs-3g.org

If there was no error during installation then the NTFS volume can be mounted in read-write mode for everybody as follows. Unmount the volume if it had already been mounted, replace /dev/hda1 and /mnt/windows, if needed.

ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

You may also need to set the 'locale' option to make all file names with national characters visible. Replace the below hu_HU.utf8 with the appropriate setting.

ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -o locale=hu_HU.utf8

Please see the ntfs-3g manual page for more options and examples. You can also make NTFS to be mounted during boot by adding the following line to the end of the /etc/fstab file:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Thanks Seve. I followed the ntfs-3g instructions from the Fedora Core 6 personal installation guide and everything is up and running with write capabilities. I made my fstab entries, and they're there after a reboot.
