As long as you're simply reading and/or copying FROM the NTFS drive, you should be able to do that just fine. Where it gets complicated is if you want to write TO an NTFS partition from within MS Windows.

Mount the harddrive like any other drive, just specify that it's an NTFS drive.
In the above example, replace /dev/hdb with the name of your NTFS drive. Also you're free to change "somedrive" to whatever name you want. This is all done from a console window.Code:su <enter> Password: <enter your root password> cd /mnt/ mkdir somedrive mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb somedrive

You first need to enable NTFS read support in your kernel. The RPM can be found at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/l...2.1-1.i586.rpm
Then techieMoe's intstructions will work.
