By default FC does not provide NTFS support.  However you can go
download the NTFS module from http://www.linux-ntfs.org (more
specifically at http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/187/ for FC5). 
But this is to read only.  Writing to NTFS from Linux is available
(but not with the module noted herein), but not reliable and therefore
not adviseable unless you have a NTFS partition that is not important
and you simply want to experiment with it or help test it and provide
feedback to the developers.  If you Google Linux NTFS write, you'll
hit on some sites that may provide the necessary modules.

Your best bet is to create a FAT32 partition to share between Linux &
Windows (if that is your goal).  Linux can reliably write to FAT32,
and then you can boot over to Windows to read & write to the same
FAT32 partition to share stuff back and forth.
