Putting an /etc/fstab entry for an ntfs system works fine as long as you have enabled ntfs file system support in your kernel. However, read-only is the default. Writeable ntfs partitions under Linux still isn't recommended. If you want to interchange frequently, keep a vfat (FAT32) partition for copying in the other direction.

Windoze XP partition. Where I hesitate and seek wiser counsel is the manner in which I might automount this partition during the boot process. Will simply adding the partition information to fstab do the trick? Although I'm backing up the Linux partition(s) using Powerquest's Drive Image 2002 (and hence, alas, am restricted to using the ext2 filesystem) I'd just as soon not screw things up.
