ntsf

You can view NTFS file systems by entering these commands in the terminal:

sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup
sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Find out which hard drive partition the file system is on and substitute /dev/hda1 for the correct partition, /dev/hda1 will probably be the correct result for the "C:" drive in windows.

Append the following line at the end of file:
/dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0

Save the file.

Enter this command in the terminal:
sudo mount -a

You should then be able to browse the filesystem in the /media/windows folder. Note however that the filesystem will be read only, as writing to ntfs partitions is considered dangerous

To elaborate on the statement: "Find out which hard drive partition the file system is on"

You can find out which hard drive devices are connected to your computer by entering the following command "ls /dev/hd*" (w/o quotes).

I needed to do this to find a second hard drive in my system.
