Reading Vista NTFS partition on dual-boot system?

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot option on a Dell laptop that
also has Windows Vista (NTFS) on the same (and only) disk.
How do I get Linux to mount the Vista partition in read-only mode?
The Vista partition does not appear in my /etc/fstab (below),
so I'm unsure what to try with the mount command.
Or is there a better way?

Thanks,
Charlie

/etc/fstab:
# /dev/sda5
UUID=7d39d77a-7c79-4a97-86c5-673db5782738 /               ext3

# /dev/sda6
