Linux can read NTFS drives using the old NTFS filesystem that comes with the kernel, assuming that the person that compiled the kernel didn’t choose to disable it. To add write access, it’s more reliable to use the FUSE ntfs-3g driver, which is included in most distributions. This lets you mount NTFS disks read/write.
