Actually, you can write NTFS in Linux. There are quite a few ways, and suggestions. One of them being captive-ntfs. It worked, but was VERY, VERY slow -- I have a Intel 530? 3.46ghz / 4gb of RAM. Using the linux kernel (2.6.17) I am able to write to NTFS (I was skeptical at first), but I've transferred a few GB back and forth and have had no issues.

Anyway, I am wondering if there is some roundabout way that an NTFS partition, mounted in Linux, could be used with full write capabilities if it were made a network drive in Windows. So, in essence, when I needed to write files to the drive, I would just have to use Windows to do so. Anyone had any experience with this?
