NTFS - a little off topic

Situation:
My neighbor gave me a 20 gig hd that came out of his WinXP machine. I would like to recover a few
files (address book and email) for him before I reformat the drive. I was able to mount the drive
(on a RH8.0 machine) and I can see the directory structure. I can access the
/WINDOWS directory, but the directories
/Program Files and
/Documents and Setting
are listed after a ls l command but I cannot access them. Actually the file type is (?) instead
of (d) and the size is zero as I recall.
Any suggestions on getting to this data (if in still exists)? I can ask him for the usernames and
passwords that he had been using.
I can also bring my server (RH8.0) with the WinXP drive attached to the next meeting if that might
help.
It has been suggested to me to get a dos boot floppy from NTFS.com and use that.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
