NTFS recovery in Linux

I have a 2.5" hard drive from a laptop. The laptop was in a never ending
ntfs.sys crash/reboot cycle. About 5-10 seconds after the windows XP blue
scrolling bar came up is where it would crash.

When I plug the hard drive into a USB box and then plug it into my Windows
XP workstation it instantly crashes and reboots my computer. I have never
used NTFS file systems or USB under Linux. I would have to install a new
modern linux on a computer here.

Is this worth my time? Is there a chance Linux might be able to help me
recover the data? I have RedHat 4.1, so maybe its time to upgrade. : )
