Don't think you can write on NTFS partitions with Red Hat.

There are some experimental programs, captive write from Knoppix for example, but with limited success. Others seem to prefer to steer clear of a filing system that may claim proprietary rights so in general it is not a standard support from from Linux to write on NTFS partitions, although some insist the newer kernels are supposed to resolve this issue.

The 2.4.20 kernel of Red Hat 9 is probably out of date by several generations relative to the current 2.6.16 kernel.

For a filesystem other than ntfs, you'd change that ro to a rw. man fstab for the details.
I'll say that under linux there is no way to write to ntfs at all. If I had valuable data on that partition, I wouldn't even try...even though there are tools like captive ntfs. (don't trust 'em)
