I'm under the impression that writing to NTFS under linux is still
labelled "experimental," which makes me think that this project is
probably not a great idea.

I can't think of a whole lot of tools that convert arbitrary filesystems
... 

Is it not possible for you to put the data somewhere else temporarily,
reformat the partition, and then copy it back?
