You'll need an ntfs kernel module, kmod-ntfs from livna, or similar from 
alternate repositories. Then, as root, modprobe ntfs. Then you can mount 
with the command
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs -t ntfs -o ro,uname=0233
where /dev/sda1 is the partition you want to mount, and mnt/ntfs is a 
folder THAT EXISTS where you want to mount it. SATA drives and IDE 
drives differ in their device naming; hard drive partitions are labeled:
/dev/xdyn
where:
x is s for SATA/SCSI/USB or h for IDE
y is the letter of the drive, starting with drive a
n is the number of the partition on the drive, starting with 1
You can run fdisk -l /dev/hda or /dev/sda as a start to find which 
partition you want to mount.
