In addition to what others have suggested, be sure that whichever live distribution you boot has the ntfs-3g package installed. Live distributions used for recovery purposes, for example Knoppix and Grml, will include this package, but others may not. This is the preferred software for mounting and accessing NTFS file systems used by modern versions of Microsoft Windows; it is reputedly better than the support provided by the Linux kernel.
