Best to disable the in-kernel write support. There was a warning it could corrupt a fs, unless you were overwriting an existing file with another file of exactly the same size. > > I think I need to enable: > >< > FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support > > You need that if you want to use the ntfs-3g FUSE driver.

I recall a case where a corrupted NTFS, I think it was on Win2000, could be read by the in-kernel driver. Neither the native MSWindows OS could read it, nor the ntfs-3g.
