/dev/hda1 /mnt/Xp/c msdos defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 /mnt/Xp/d ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Did you write ntfs-3g for your NTFS entries.
Check your format of fstab too. If you were able to successfully mount all partitions eariler correct fstab entries will mount all of them for you.
If you still get errors show your fstab entries.

thank u for ur replay
it not working
my fstab is

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /home/sumesh/xp ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 /home/sumesh/ent ntfs-3g rw,auto,user,sync 0 0
/dev/sda6 /home/sumesh/soft ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

/dev/sda1 /home/sumesh/xp ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 /home/sumesh/ent ntfs-3g rw,auto,user,sync 0 0
/dev/sda6 /home/sumesh/soft ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Try this

/dev/sda1 /home/sumesh/xp ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sda5 /home/sumesh/ent ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sda6 /home/sumesh/soft ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0 0 0

In case it doesn't work, post the output of this

su -
/sbin/fdisk -l
df -h

its not working
on start up echo
mounting local file systems [failed]
every time shows like that
the /sbin/fdisk -1 is not working
the o/p of the above command is

[root@localhost ~]# su -
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/fdisk -1
/sbin/fdisk: invalid option -- 1

Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK Change partition table
fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK List partition table(s)
fdisk -s PARTITION Give partition size(s) in blocks
fdisk -v Give fdisk version
Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I think you have enable SeLinux and its preventing automount partitions.
Log in as root user and open /etc/selinux/config file.
Replace

SELINUX=restrictive

with

SELINUX=permissive

Save file and reboot machine.
