NTFS support is not enabled by default in the kernel as NTFS support is deemed experimental. Reading from NTFS partitions should be fine; writing is for the adventurous.

In order to enable NTFS support, yo will need to uncomment "NTFS" in the GENERIC kernel configuration file, & recompile the kernel according to the informationg found in Section 5.3 of the FAQ.

You should also read the mount_ntfs(8) manpage. There, it states that the kernel supports only NTFS4 & NTFS5.
