I'm seeing stuff on line that indicates it is now possible to write to
ntfs formated disk from linux (at least semi-reliably).

I'd like to delete a few directories and files that the windows xp OS
sees as `system files' and will not allow them to be deleted.

They are duplicates of other system files but with differnt extension.
In this case *.windows.  They are the result of doing a  reinstall
without reformating the drive.

I'm pretty sure no harm will result by deleting them and it will make
things a little less of PITA when running windows for video related
work.

It's not worth going to extreme lengths to do this but if there is a
`knoppix' sort of distro out there with this ability, or I can do it
from my gentoo install or even a live gentoo disk, with out great
painfull striving, I'd like to try it.

Can anyone guide me on this?
