Hi all. 
I  must have lost my brains somewhere..

I am trying to mount a spare NTFS disk on my Linux box to do a backup of it as 
i repair the Windows machine. (Hardware dead, so i cant copy via network)

It mounts, and is readable and all.. But i cant seem to copy anything of it 
correctly. It starts to convert characters and filenames.
All swedish chars get mangeled.. (And some others too)

I know i probably have the wrong charset/codepage, but cant for my life piece 
together what to pass to mount...

NTFS is XP


Locale on Linux: (For root)

sparhawk:~ # locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"

LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=


How do i mount and copy without the transformation och characters?
