This is typically what I do as well, but my drives like this are all
ext2. According to man mount, ntfs is supported, so you should be able
to mount the drive. However, you'll want to suck that data off of that
drive as soon as you can. Another concern would be what type of data it
is. That is, do you have Linux programs that can understand all that
data?
