Up till recently I would have suggested, as others did before, to have a
FAT32 file system mounted (as partition, or additional HD, or USB key).
Many disk utils refer to it as Win95 FAT32 (or something like this).
You can make your life easier by telling /etc/fstab to mount it at boot,
as R/W with appropriate permissions for all users, to a mount point
(subdirectory) in $HOME --then you have it at your fingertips right at
boot.
HOWEVER -- I just saw that Knoppix 5.1.1
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix51-en.html
includes NTFS-3G Read/Write Driver
http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Third-party R/W utilities for NTFS have been around for some time, but
considered somewhat risky. However, if the leading Live-CD distro includes
it I'll give it a try.
I am downloading the .iso (CD) as I am typing this....

I always cheat and create a small fat partition that I can transfer files to,
so i can read them from the other operating system.
