Okay, then you may or may not have support already for it.
Okay, click Foot >> Programs >> System >> Gnome Terminal
and then type
ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/
what does it say?
if you don't see ntfs in there, then type this
cat /proc/filesystems
if you don't see ntfs in there, then chances are you will need to
recompile your kernel
If you've never done that before, then I can try to walk you through it
on the mailing list or you can come on thursday to the installfest and
we can do it there.
If you saw ntfs in one of those places then type
su
[type your root password]
mkdir /mnt/windows
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -oro
If the last command doesn't give you errors, then you should half access
to your windows drive at /mnt/windows. You can get to it from the
terminal by typing
cd /mnt/windows
ls
You can get to it from Nautilus or GMC.
If the above things work, and you want to set it up to automatically
mount the windows drive on bootup, then tell me and I'll tell you how.

Generally, you can deduce it from where the hardware is. If you are
using IDE, then the partition is going to be
/dev/hdMN
where M is a letter from a to d and N is an integer. Primary Master is
a, Primary Slave is b, Secondary Master is c, and Secondary Slave is d.
The first partition on the drive is 1, the second partition on the drive
is 2, etc...
Windows is normally installed on /dev/hda1
