There is a driver that will allow Linux to see, and possibly write to,
NTFS where NT version is less than 5. Unfortunately, W2K forces your NTFS
partitions to be NTFS version 5. The information at the NTFS driver's home
page (http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~loewis/ntfs/) suggests that it
does not support NTFS 5.
If you want data interchangeability, you could build a small FAT parking
partition. However, of you want full access to the NT partition, you
should format it for FAT16, NOT fat 32. Or do later versions of Linux
support FAT32?
