Data migration

I am in need of relocating some data from an XFS drive to a windows based file system, preferably ntfs since there is a lot of data. The XFS drive was in a NAS device and went down. I can view the data using an Insert cd but can't write to the NTFS drive. I tried to use the ftp client built into it but for some reason I can't see the XFS drive for some reason. I can move the data to a fat32 drive but it takes forever and might have locked up. I'm looking for a more efficent way of doing this. Thanks in advance.

Writing to NTFS from GNU/Linux can be a bit risky unless you use captive (http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/) and the only live linux CD I know that has that is the later versions of knoppix. You could transfer it over a network but that would take longer than writing to FAT32. Your best bet might be to put up with the wait and write to FAT.

For some reason Knoppix doesn't see the XFS data though. My biggest problem is I am learning Linux as I go and it's not working out too well. Thanks for the help though. I started on the move to fat32 and I guess I'll just keep plugging away at that one.
