Oops. Was going to write more in the last message, but accidentally

Look at the page that Paul and Tim sent you a link to. When you get
the options you want, put them in /etc/fstab after the word "default"
with a comma separating them. E.g. using the same options as the
website, your fstab entry would look like:
/dev/hda2 /dos ntfs
defaults,umask=0027,uid=flatcap,gid=winuser 0 0
You probably want uid and gid to be your username. You might also
want to put the "user" option in there to allow normal users to
mount/umount the drive. Also, you probably want the "ro" option as
writing to NTFS is very limited and potentially dangerous.
