Try Mandrake
You would have to make sure the NTFS support is loaded either in your kernel or as a module.
Or take the easy way out and install either Suse or Mandrake.

RH 7.3 doesn't have NTFS support in the kernel, you'd need to recompile the kernel with NTFS support in order to be able mount the drive.
You should be able to see the "man fstab" pages on what options you need to enable, either that or it'll tell you where else to look and find out.
Mandrake does have NTFS support built in. There are some others which do too but I can't remember them off the top of my head, sorry.

Recompile kernel = very easy.
In your case the only thing you have to do is to enable NTFS Read Support under File Systems.
