i don't think this is possible.

Your best bet is to obtain a linux machine with space for two extra hard drives, and do the following:

boot to linux as usual, with one linux hard drive and a blank hard drive plugged in. format the blank hard drive as NTFS, mount both of them under linux, copy the data between them, and then do the same for the other linux hard drive!

simple! lol :D
