Computer of my friend got broken. Windows does not start and is not 
willing to be repaired. HD itself is more or less ok. He would loose a 
huge amount of valuable data if formatting was done. HD is of SATA type, 
while on my comp its IDE, so I can not connect it to my computer.

I burned Centos 5.2 LiveCD and booted his computer from it. Works great. 
I can browse through one partition on his HD, sde1, but sde2 is not 
mounted automatically and when I try to mount it manually, I get the 
following error message:

mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

ntfs is shown as a filesystem type on that partition when using hardware 
manager.

What should I think about that? Any ideas what next?
