Pretty much any linux distro these days can read ntfs.
If your chosen one can not, quickly grab parted magic (
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=partedmagic), run it from CD
and do whatever you like with all your files.
If you have more than 256MB of memory, it runs without CD, so you have also
a CD drive/burner available to you.
Congratulations for dumping WinBlows! (It is a pain I used to.....)
