I have two USB NTFS volumes : both can be mounted and read.
However a guide I am reading (more reading...) to try and see my primary
windows XP NTFS partition tells me to perform
cat /proc/filesystems
To see which filessystems are supported. The result is:
nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev sockfs
nodev pipefs
nodev futexfs
nodev tmpfs
nodev inotifyfs
nodev eventpollfs
nodev devpts
cramfs
nodev ramfs
nodev devfs
nodev mqueue
nodev usbfs
ext3
No NTFS is mentioned. Now I am confused.
Can someone point me to a good, correct guide to filesystems and how to
mount NTFS primary partitions.
Some of the other systems Ive seen look in incredibly hazardous & I
really dont want to crash my windows partition : read only is sufficient.

All you need is this in your fstab:
/dev/hdc2 /mnt/windows ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
I get the same results as you with the below command but can mount my
NTFS volume without issue.
make sure that you create the mount point /mnt/windows.
You will not need to reboot after making the addition just do a:
sudo mount /mnt/windows
> cat /proc/filesystems

Write is disabled to NTFS by default, you need to compile support into
the kernel to use it.

there also is another option, captive-ntfs, it uses the win32 drivers
and basically gives complete access. however the last time I used it and
tried to copy a few files it took hours for a few hundred MB and was
very cpu intensive.
