    There are plenty of references for this on the internet such as this. You may need to install ntfs-3g which is probably available through yum. You can mount it into any folder you want. It does not have to be /mnt/ntfs. If you want to mount it into a currently existing directory which has data in it then it is a bit tricker as you need to move the pre-existing files first. It is better to mount by UUID rather than sdX as drive assignments can change with external drives. Search the forum for UUID. To make any mounting permanent add an entry to /etc/fstab (preferably by UUID - you'll see examples in the file. Instead of using the mount command you can edit fstab then do a "mount -a".
