Knoppix is a different animal altogether.  Most LIVE cd OS's can read and write to NTFS as they are not actually installing their write schema, but rather just sitting in RAM and usnig the host OS for support.  NTFS support in linux has come along way (Google it) and there is a great project out there to make it easier http://www.linux-ntfs.org/.  Even on their own site, here is the quote.
The goals of the Linux-NTFS project are to develop reliable and full feature access to NTFS by the Linux kernel driver, and by a user space filesystem (ntfsmount), and to provide a wide collection of NTFS utilities (ntfsprogs) and a developer's library (libntfs) for other GPLed programs. We have achieved already a lot, with high quality results.

This clearly shows that it is NOT a mandriva thing, but rather a linux thing.  Again, their are workarounds to get this working.  I would still suggest the options I suggested of using FAT32 if it needs to be used by M$ and nix*

This is true of Mandriva, not Linux. I routinely use Knoppix 5
to write to NTFS.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
