yes and no ... Linux can see just about anything, MS OS's are more limited. NTFS is a little more compicated because it is usually considered experimental to have write access to it, but you can so it.
What version of Windows are you using?

normally, in linux, you can use the mount command to connect to your windows partition. Create a directory to mount to: /mnt/windrive or whatever (/mnt directory is the "traditional" location for mountpoints) and then mount it:

If your windows partition is the first partion on the first drive, it will probably be /dev/hda1

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windrive

use the mount command by itself to see what your current mountpoints are, and cat /etc/fstab to see what your default mountings are set up to be.
