If you are trying to read an NTFS partition on the same computer,
beware of this: the NT File System (NTFS) for NT 4.x is
different from that for W2K. Make sure these drivers can tell the
difference & handle it appropriately. The old NTFS driver was NTFS 4
only, and did not support W2K NTFS. Also, if you have NT 4 SP6, you
have the W2K NTFS drivers, and NTFS partitions created under it may be
W2K NTFS.
If you want to look at documents on another computer, you can use
Samba to transfer files, assuming the NT box will share the files.
Another way to do the second is to 1) get the cygwin tools onto the NT
box, 2) set up OpenSSH, then 3) use Tramp mode under Emacs to edit
them on the Linux box. Cygwin is easy to install, OpenSSH has a fair
amount of work to do, and tramp mode is easy to set up. Once you have
it all working it is exactly like editing a file locally; tramp mode
hides the details of getting the file from the other machine.
