Accessing NTFS drives in Ubuntu

How can I find out where my NTFS partition is (like dev/hd1 etc), and how can I then mount it to be accessed in Ubuntu,

I'm an Ubuntu n00b, so consider that when answering.

I type in sudo fdisk-l and I get:

/dev/sda1 * 1 24310 195270043+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 24311 30259 47785342+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 30260 30515 2056320 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 30260 30515 2056288+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

sda1 isn't listed in /etc/fstab

Ah I've done it. I modified /etc/fstab to the following:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda2
UUID=cc62f22f-6b98-4fcb-87f7-8da607cc26f1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=0670ff67-a861-4f9b-a4cf-acd9103a9431 none swap sw 0 0

/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002, 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/ /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

I already created a mount point called Windows.

Thank you!
