? I've been using just normal ntfsprogs on my Kubuntu Desktop. That works just fine. It even scans the ntfs drive on boot to clean it (something that is really needed - whoever wrote the ntfs driver for windows needs to be slain with torture for the sloppy job he or she did!) It is a bit annoying to have to wait for it to load as it waits for the scan to finish. -- http://lordsauronthegreat.googlepages.com/
