The Linux kernel has *experimental* support for read-write access to an
NTFS 4 filesystem. This means Winnt, but NOT Win2k or later (which are
NTFS 5). However, because this support is experimental, it is generally
not compiled into the stock kernel of any distro -- you will need to
enable experimental options, then enable read-write ntfs filesystem
support, and compile your own kernel.
Be warned: this is considered experimental for a good reason! The
reverse-engineering of NTFS is not 100%, and sometimes things can get
really hosed up when modifying files. Not only can you lose the file you
were working on, but you can even lose other files to corruption as
well.
