As far as I know, NTFS support in Linux is really limited to the latest kernels (2.4.x) and you can only READ, not write, to NTFS using a Linux system. That's about all I know about this, since I don't use NTFS with Linux. For more information, I would suggest that you consult the following web site : http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net And, especially, its FAQ section: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/index.html And, as usual, Google is your friend: http://www.google.com/search?q=NTFS%20Linux&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Sorry I can't give you more precise answers...
