I think you may have a tough time finding that. Supposedly, NTFS is a c1 (supposedly soon to be c2) secure file system, which means that no OS except for NT is supposed to be able to read/write from it. I heard that MS is considering legal action against the guy who wrote the NTFS-read stuff for linux, since the code was copywrite or some such.
I personally think the only way a micro$oft operating/file system will be secure is to turn the computer off. In my opinon, this doesn't change the amount of usefullness versus when the machine is turned on. :-)
