The Linux distro I use (Fedora Core 4) does not support reading windows NTFS partition by default. Note that this is just Fedora’s choice (there are some legal issues I suppose), and you can very well compile a kernel with NTFS read as well as read/write support.

But no need for you to figure out how to compile a kernel, although its not that difficult as it sounds. You can download the kernel binary patches for NTFS support from the Linux-NTFS Project Web Site. Download the correct RPM corresponding to your kernel version, install it, and you’re all set. Note that this provides only read support for NTFS partitions.
