If you really want to write to NTFS and can accept the risks (You have a regular backup) You can enable write support for ntfs in the kernel config (its in the fs section) but I wouldn't recommend it. What I have is an ntfs c drv and a small -1 gig fat32 d drv. It really is a bad idea to write to ntfs though, win32 and unix do permissions differently you could corrupt the permissions for everything on the c drv

As others have stated, there is no reliable write support for NTFS. I got round this problem by converting my Win2k partitions to FAT32, which is read-writable from linux. hth Chris > > tia > - -- > > Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ > http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid. > I SHOUT JUST FOR FUN.
