I read something about ntfs support sometime ago and I recall a comment (this was from the developers, as I recall) that the ntfs filesystem was simply a moving target. Being able to *read* the filesystem is relatively "easy". Writing to it is a different matter. And then, when they've figured it out, MS makes a subtle change, via a Service Pack, for instance, that breaks their write ability. A suggestion is to make a small FAT partition to store files that you may want to access when in Linux. Regards Hall
