Are all those asterisks actually in the commands you use?  Try them
without.  eg,



sudo mkdir /mnt/windows



Check to see if /mnt/windows exists (it should), then



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



Check to see if it's mounted.



To automate it you'll then add a line to /etc/fstab (not
root/etc/fstab)



/dev/hda1	/mnt/windows	ntfs	defaults,umask=000	0 0



To edit fstab do sudo kwrite /etc/fstab (you need root privileges)



Let us know how it goes.
