To see the ntfs directories in /mnt, do

open terminal
su >root password
mkdir /mnt/NTFS1
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/NTFS1

This assumes that your windows partition is on hda1, and that you want to call it NTFS1.
You can call it anything you like, just don't use spaces, linux will think you want 2 separate directories.
