for NTFS (more often than not the default filesystem for modern windows
OSs):
go to http://rpm.livna.org
download and install the yum setup RPMS provided there
then install the NTFS modules for your kernel:

yum install kernel-module-ntfs-$(uname -r)

after this you will be able to mount an NTFS filesystem with
mount -t ntfs,ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
n.b. reading from NTFS filesystems works well.
Writing to them is *not* a good idea. Write support is not perfect under
linux. (hence the ro in the mount command above)
