Which Linux distro and version do you have?
Execute this

cat /etc/*release
cat /etc/*version

Post output here.

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/*release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/*version
cat: /etc/*version: No such file or directory

my kernal version
2.6.18-8.el5

Install rpmforge repository ( direct link ) and install NTFS support through yum.

yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse

You will have read/write access in NTFS partitions.

mkdir /mnt/hda2
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 -o defaults,umask=0

You have to install kernel-devel package first.
Aren't you using licensed copy of RHEL5? If you want to use free version then go for CentOS. Its a clone of RHEL and free to download/install.
