If you only want read access to your ntfs partition, then [k]ubuntu already has read access built in, and you don't need ntfs-3g. If you want read/write access, then ntfs-3g may be of help. But ntfs-3g is not truly stable yet, and anything Microsoft on Linux is not expected to be stable, if you ask Bill Hilf of Microsoft Platform Strategy, and I believe him. For ntfs support on Linux to be stable, Microsoft has to release the specifications of ntfs, and must itself commit to sticking to those specifications.

Need Help... :) What would be helpful perhaps is an audit of your activity in the past 24 hours. What software have you installed within that time? What other system-related work did you do? Who else used your system within that timeframe? In particular, do you use any other means of installing software other than the official Edgy repositories? Cheers, Zakame
