If it's NTFS partition on the same PC which runs Linux (i.e. you
dual-boot) you can read it, you may need to compile the ntfs.o module in
the kernel (in some versions of RH this module is available, in others
they compiled the kernel with NTFS option disabled in config).

If the partition is on another machine, you don't even care that it's
NTFS, enable sharing on that Windows machine and use samba to access the
shared partitions.
