[CentOS] administering an MS Windows partition under Linux

Hopefully this isn't going too off-topic here but;

Once an NTFS/Windows drive has been mounted under Linux, is it
possible to view the registry in any way as normally it is
inaccessible when booted into the Windows OS or does it lie on an NTFS
Alternate Data Stream that is inaccessible from within Linux and only
Windows?
