If you compile a 2.2.12+(i believe, might be 2.2.13+) kernel and enable
NTFS filesystem support, you'll have no problem mounting an NTFS
partition and reading from it. There is no way to (reliably) write to an
NTFS partition from Linux yet, but should be around in the 2.4 series
kernel...

This is probably the best way to do what you're trying to do :)
