An Ubuntu Live CD will usually mount NTFS file systems, if they are not too badly damaged. You may have to alter BIOS settings to get the system to boot from the CD - or you may have the option to got to a boot menu (my system does).

I suggest you use a USB memory stick to copy files onto from the NTFS partition. And be careful to virus scan the files if you are copying them from there to another windows machine.

This will not work if the NTFS drive has been re-formatted and you want to recover files from before the re-formatting.
