|  | Posted: July 13 2007,11:56 |  |  There's no problem reading NTFS with Linux. Linux has been able to read NTFS since kernel 2.2. There are at least two drivers that allow read-write access to NTFS partitions. NTFS3g works in userspace but not kernelspace. Captive NTFS is a wrapper that uses the Windows NTFS driver.
 
 NTFS is a standard. There are no changes in NTFS between Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista; just as there are no changes in ext2 between Linux kernel versions.
 
 I have an old NT workstation and I've never had any trouble accessing NT 4.x partitions under Linux since 2.2 was released. Dittos for any other Windows partitions -- FAT, NTFS in XP and Vista, etc. -- since then.
