Knowing the way Windows works (FSVO "work"), they probably get lots of them.

mount -o ro -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/wherever

It might not be /dev/hda1; check the output of "fdisk -l /dev/hda" (assuming
it's the first IDE hard drive). That's for read-only support. NTFS writing
is still iffy, but you can enable it by changing the "ro" to "rw".
