i currently have windows installed on one hard drive and linux on another drive. The music files that i want to access are on the same drive windows is installed on. Is there a way for me to access these files while in linux
 
It is ntfs. what file system does it have to be for it to work. i can not see the drive at all
 
NTFS is readable if you set it up (search Google for a howto), but not writable...at least, not safely writable at this time.

FAT32 is better for that sort of purpose.
 
make a dirrectory in your home directory on the linux box and as root do this:

mount -t ntfs /dev/hdXY temp/
then cd temp/;ls--------poof there are your files

XY=the windows drive like /dev/hda1 would be first IDE drive first partition, with ntfs and windows it will likely be /dev/hda2
