if your nt is ntfs try this:
modprobe ntfs
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1

now you can copy your nt files to your linux

First, if your NT partition is NTFS make sure you have "NTFS filesystem support (read only)" enabled in Linux kernel. If not, recompile it with this option enabled (or enabled as module). Then simply

# mkdir /mnt/foo
# mount -t ntfs /dev/ /mnt/foo

If your NT is sitting up on FAT, you need only to

# mkdir /mnt/foo
# mount -t vfat /dev/ /mnt/foo
