I've never tried it out, but the Linux kernel does come with a read-only support for NTFS. Just make sure the kernel module for it has been compiled, mount your partition, and you should be all set. If you want to write to the NTFS partition, there is kernel support for that, but it's considered very experimental, and is not recommended. It probably isn't compiled in by default.

I use my MP3 partition (NTFS) to play while doing something in Linux. editing /etc/fstab and mounting the NTFS partition as type NTFS , umask = 022,ro,users in the options sorts it out easily.
