Install the Fuse package and the ntfs-3g package. Then modprobe the fuse module "sudo /sbin/modprobe fuse" and use the "ntfs-3g" filesystem.

Another way is to install ntfs file support, but for Fedora Core that may entail recompiling the kernel.

Code:

grep -n NTFS .config
3387:# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set

The ntfs-3g driver is a userland driver which will also allow you to write to the partition.
