Nicholas Getis said, "The help for Knoppix says right up front that one should not use it to write files on drives with NTFS format. It may scramble your folders. This leaves out working with Windows XP."
Hey ! Who said anything about mounting that file system to be read/write? Ya DON'T scramble it when ya take the default - which is 'READ ONLY'. Tis dead easy - just click the thing and go. Boom - the hard drive is mounted READ ONLY. Another click and a textbox input - BAM - samba is loaded. on a 'nother machine, I can map a drive 'cross the network to the 'mounted' samba share, start a file copy. All in 10 minutes or less. I never worry about 'writing' on a winders drive, once I've booted the machine with Knoppix. Nicholas - not fair - I think this is a scare tactic you've used.
