Mounting NTFS filesystem.

How do you setup fstab for mounting ntfs .
The line I have in fstab is
/dev/hda2 /mnt/nt ntfs defaults 1 2
FC4 won't accept that line, kernel-module-ntfs is installed and loads each time
after boot,I have a /mnt/nt folder, Yes XP is at hda2 my dell laptop uses hda1
for it's test settings etc.
What should fstab be set at, please guys no guessing , only if you have ntfs on your
system and working.

Thanks guys

/dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs ro,umask=000,user 1 0

Strait from my /etc/fstab.

thanks for your help tangle, but I thank I got a screwed up NTFS partition , this is the message I get in my boot log:
NTFS driver 2.1.22 [Flags: R/W MODULE].
NTFS-fs error (device hda2): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is invalid.
NTFS-fs error (device hda2): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover.
NTFS-fs error (device hda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.

Thank
