I believe that ntfs-3g is included in Ubuntu 7.04. I've never tried it
on Ubuntu. But if you have a Ubuntu disk you can run it on a Windows
machine without installing it on the hard drive and try to read and
write NTFS files.

The Insert rescue CD[0] has ntfs-3g. I've used that more than once on an
NTFS file-system with (almost) no problems. Only requirement is that when
fixing a broken NTFS file system, Windows chkdsk still needs to run on it
to make sure everything is in order. However, if the file system isn't
broken, it seems to read and write just fine.

Excuse me for coming into this at a late stage but do I understand correctly
that if I install ntfs-3g (if that is possible and some guidance needed
here) I will be able to copy files from my WindowsXP partition to my
openSUSE 10.2 partition? Or am I wrong, yet again :-)
