If you've got the data on a separate disk (or have an additional available disk) I think the simplest path will be to physically remove the disk, install linux on what remains, put the data disk(s) back in, mount them, and do whatever else needs doing from within linux. You may need to use the read-only NTFS support, depending on how the NT disk is formatted.
