In that vein: a couple of years ago I rescued data from a neighbours Windows 7 drive with ddrescue and, because ddrescue was stuck at the last 0.x percent, ntfsck, which was part of the ntfsprogs package at the time, and (I think) was already being developed as part of ntfs3g. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked. -- Marc Joliet -- People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't - Bjarne Stroustrup signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This is right, ntfs-3g is a safe way of accessing NTFS from Linux. Actually, while there is a NTFS-kernel driver, this driver is mostly stable only for reading files, but not writing files. If you need to use NTFS on a regular basis under Linux, you want to use the FUSE ntfs-3g. It is far more advanced and far more stable than the kernel driver.

[gentoo-user] samba and window 7 NTFS
I just installed windows 7 in VB and would like to mount windows 7 shares (folder) via samba on Linux. I think, I need to enable CONFIG_NTFS_FS in kernel? In order to format the USB stick to NTFS I need this option in kernel as well, am I correct? -- Joseph

I got around and used VB Windows 7 to format USB to NTFS and transfer the files from Linux to UBS via shared folder. -- Joseph
