READ support for NTFS has always worked just fine.  Write/delete support is 
controversial, people like me for whom it's been no problem are always 
getting shouted down by people who read somewhere that it doesn't work.

If nothing else, you could set it up as an NetBIOS share and copy the files 
using an SMBCLIENT.

The dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb2 is the way to go if you want an exact image 
of the partition - useful if you're talking about an NT boot partition.  You 
can just copy it back as-is, instead of rebuilding it file-by-file.
