...or another possibility so any normal user can access the partition
for reading only:

/dev/hda1       /media/windoze  ntfs
rw,user,noauto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000  0       0

Should all be on one line. Of course /media/wondoze would have to be
created first (as root via sudo).

You could then mount and unmount it via Places >> Computer >> windoze

Forgot to mention you might have to log out of Gnome and back into Gnome for it to show up in Places >> Computer >> windoze
