you can mount an NTFS partition as read only in linux. modprobe ntfs (assuming ntfs support was compiled into the kernel as a module) and mount -t ntfs /dev/hda3 /mnt
Unless it's in your fstab as user mountable, only root can access the ntfs partition.

can i have more detailed instructions? i want to mount ntfs, but ntfs support is not in my kernel. I downloaded the ntfs driver from the ntfs site on sourceforge, and i think i compiled and installed the module (by that i mean, i did configure;make;make install), but i cannot mount the partition. I have zero experience with adding modules to my kernel, or recompiling. I am using the default kernel that came with the RH 7.2 install disk (2.4.7 i think)
