Re: dual-OS system

[Gayle Lee Fairless <fairless@hiwaay.net>]

	I found this package in stable:

Package: libntfs3 (1.6.0-1)
Library that provides common NTFS access functions.

The Linux-NTFS project (http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/) aims to bring full 
support for the NTFS filesystem to the Linux operating system.

libntfs provides common NTFS access functions for the ntfstools and other 
foreign open source applications.

Please note that the library is still under heavy development and doesn't 
include the majority of functionality yet. It only is capable of just 
about supporting the current ntfstools, so we wouldn't recommend using it 
for your own applications at this stage. 


 	==================================

	Although I haven't looked in the other branches or done any
googling or looking at backports.org, it looks as if you'll eventually be 
able to write the NTFS on your Windows XP system.  At least you'll be able 
to read it.

	I'm running a dual system on a Gateway 500 using Windows 98SE and 
Debian GNU/Linux woody.  The windows partition can be mounted rw under 
/mnt.  The Windows OS cannot see the Linux partitions.
