During install, did you use the partition editor to set the ntfs 
partition with a mount point ?
Reason I ask is that I did, but anaconda didn't make a mount line in 
fstab for it.
It worked fine after I copied the line from /etc/fstab that F8 used {ie 
with a GUID= value}.

It didn't occur for me in F8, F9beta, or rawhide over the past 2x months.

There was a time when my NTFS os started to start, and I hard powered 
off. This left the NTFS in an inconsistent state. There are some ntfsX 
tools that can examine the structure. I used the NTFS's winos to perform 
the disk check / fix and then it was OK.
