Not sure about on Debian but on Ubuntu 7.04 you can install the ntfs-config package which will allow you to mount the drive and then get the data off. Works on the live desktop CD too, just boot up the live desktop CD, open a terminal and type the following... sudo apt-get install ntfs-config If it can't find it then you'll have to enable the Ubuntu Feisty Universe repository. Anyway, when you have installed it, you will find it under the Applications/System Tools menu as NTFS Configuration Tool. Hope this helps.
