I have

/dev/hda1   /media/hda1  ntfs  noauto,ro,users,umask=022  0 0

To make it mount on boot change "noauto" to "auto"
 I think the "ro" option is redundant - but it makes me feel safe ;-) . I
have "users" instead of "user" - apparently "users" allows all users to
umount the partition, rather than just the user who mounted it, so "user"
should work fine too.

Your line seems to be missing the file system type as well ( ntfs ) .
