Well... XP home does not support NTFS.
Believe it or not. MS philosophy is great isn' it?


Err, I'm surprised, but somehow I find it believable...


Actually, I don't find it believable at all since I've installed XP Home a couple of times with NTFS.

Given that, Jonas, have you tried `convert` from the command line?


OH SHT!
I didn't know of that!

Seems like doing it, but I'm suspicious about NTFS and the linux kernel.
Has it got out of EXPERIMENTAL ?

I lost a great deal of data using mandrake one year ago and writing one file to an NTFS partition. (it was backed up though)
All files disappeared. Folders left undestroyed.


And what about permissions in NTFS when XP doesn't even have a decent way to manage it... Not like w2k anyway.
maybe the GUI changes its behaviour when filesystem type changes?
Yeah, I know. "discuss that somewhere else, kid."
