#9 Re: Question: User access to NTFS partition? Posted by Alex (82.195.xx.xx) on Tue 20 Sep 2005 at 13:08 As far as I am aware, NTFS write support does exist in Linux though it is very experimental and prone to corruption. What I have found to be the best soloution is to have a third partition that both OS's can read and write to. This used to involve FAT32 (Which I hate), but recently I've formatted it as ext3 and used this driver: http://www.fs-driver.org/ ...to enable full read/write access under XP. It's been working solidly for several months now with me dual booting between Ubuntu/XP.
