You can try to mount the filesystem with Linux

make an mount point for example

cd /mnt
mkdir safe
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/sicherheit

I think the drive will be hdb1

If you don´t have ntfs support you can also download at

http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/fedora2.html

then you can read from ntfs


Hope this will help
