To write to ntfs I run the simple script <font color=red><span

are saved on hd, you need to run this script once, and only mount ntfs next.
This script is included in "<font color=red><span style='color:red'> mn ntfs

color=red><span style='color:red'>cptv </span></font>file and make it

If you already upgraded to winxp sp2, copy files from sp1 installation cd i386/
NTFS.SYS and CDFS.SY_ FASTFAT.SY_ NTOSKRNL.EX_ and unpack the last three, e.g.,
using winRAR, winZIP, or in Linux, e.g., <font color=red><span
style='color:red'>cabextract CDFS.SY_ </span></font>and copy they to /var/lib/captive

Knoppix3.7-3.4, but captive-ntfs was removed from Knoppix3.8. So, boot
Knoppix3.7 cd with my profile and knoppix.sh if you need to write to ntfs. <br>
<br>
Next frequently asked question is with what OS captive-ntfs works? Captive-ntfs
does not work with any OS; it works with ntfs file system. E.g., testing
evaluation copies I simultaneously installed (in different folders: c:\winxp
c:\win2k c:\win3s) and alternatively run from the same ntfs partition win2k
Server, winxp, and win2003 Server. So, captive-ntfs can read/write to any these
OS as they use the same ntfs (I'm not sure about winNT file system).</p>

I hear seems to be iffy. Some people say that at times you can hose the ntfs fs
by writing to it. I would definitely image any partition or HD I was going to
do this to, for safety's sake.<br>

I'm not sure how well NTFS write works in Linux (I haven't tried it in<br>
quite a while). KNOPPIX include Captive NTFS which supposedly loads
the <br>
NT/2k/XP ntfs.sys driver and uses that for writing, but I never got that<br>
to work. As I understand it, Captive NTFS is no longer maintained
but<br>
there are other NTFS write options.</span></font></p>
