Ok, I'm assuming that windows is on another partition- you should just be able to mount it and then look at it- depends on the filesystem though.
ask if this isn't enough info to guide a google search. titanium_geek |

Samba
What about this program called Samba, i heard that people use that also ??/
speedy |
Samba is for networking, eg. looking at files on other machines.
|
samba is for sharing files and printers between linux and windows computers on a network.

You can mount and access files by using teh following command:
Code:
mount -t ntfs /dev/partitions-address /mount-folder
To gain root access: Code:
su - |
add a line to /etc/fstab (as root)
Specify the fs type as ntfs, and add ro to the options |
