RE: Win-xp NTFS mount problem
If you really want to write to NTFS and can accept the risks (You have a
regular backup) You can enable write support for ntfs in the kernel config
(its in the fs section) but I wouldn't recommend it. What I have is an ntfs
c drv and a small -1 gig fat32 d drv. It really is a bad idea to write to
ntfs though, win32 and unix do permissions differently you could corrupt the
permissions for everything on the c drv

As others have stated, there is no reliable write support for NTFS. I got
round this problem by converting my Win2k partitions to FAT32, which is
read-writable from linux.
