Kali,
You seem not to listening to many of the suggestions, you need to install an rpm kernel that has the NTFS drivers, Alexander Dalloz has pointed it out to you, the site I mean. The default FC1/2 doesn't have this driver in FC kernels.
If this is not you cup of tea, then you can try Knoppix (http://www.knoppix.org) and burn that to CD and boot that, that should mount the drives for you automatically in READ ONLY mode when it comes up.
I have not installed the most recent kernel for FC2, so possibly it has changed, but the kernel sources RPM I have includes NTFS support. The kernel builds done by the FC team have it turned off, but the driver is there. All you have to do is build a new kernel after setting the proper option. If you use 'make menuconfig', you will find it under File systems --> DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems --> NTFS file system support. If you set that to 'Y' or 'M', then you will see two additional options.
