Get Data from a Unix Machine to a Windows PC

Ive never used Unix or Linux, but I was given a task to try to ghost all data from older(Mid 90s) Unix Machines to an IDE drive in NTFS format.What we are trying to do is to be able to hook a SCSI UNIX drive to a windows PC and pull the data that way instead of using a network. I dont know if this possible, but any help is appreciated

Generally hooking a Unix disk up to a Windows machine won't work.  Microsoft does not support foreign filesystem formats.  Typically, you should use tar to archive the filesystem on the Unix machine, then transfer the archive to a Windows machine using FTP.
Oh, and since you have never used Unix or Linux, I strongly suggest you get someone who is familiar with the systems to help you.
