My answer #2 is about hard disk installs (and the dangers of doing them), which is not what you are asking. The Rescue faq gives several techniques that people have used to recover data from a system, including cases where they have NTFS partitions that they can't write to. These range from external devices with FAT partitions to backups across a network and even adding an extra internal drive. I'm not going to retype the entire rescue faq here, and if I had moe information for you I would put it in the rescue faq where it belongs. The entire reason that I've been giving these links lately is that these same questions keep coming up but the answers are pretty well covered in the wiki.
