mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

Or whatever. I trust you know which drive your windows partition is on.

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

will work as long as a few things are done first...
/mnt/windows (or any other place you mount the ntfs partition to) must exist first as an empty directory.
NTFS partition support must be enabled in the kernel.

NTFS support the last time i looked should be only used as read-only as writing to the partitions is still buggy and may corrupt the drive and data.
