how to read ntfs files?

[Bob Goodwin]

I have a hard drive installed in an F7 computer and would like to list 
the directories before I reformat it. It should have Windows XP on it 
but there is some uncertainty about which drive was sent to me. Fdisk 
tells me it is formatted hpfs/ntfs.  I believe I need another 
application to deal with ntfs files?

Can someone tell me what to do next?

Tnx.

Search this list for ntfs, there have been many discussion of late 
around this, and in particular ntfs-3g
