Quite possibly you overlooked something. Did you build the kernel yourself? Writing to NTFS partitions is still an "experimental" part of the Linux kernel so you have to enable prompting for experimental features when configuring the kernel and then check NTFS read & write support. I don't believe any of the stock kernels support the NTFS write capability. Be forewarned that I've seen several people on the linux-kernel mailing list state that write support has trashed their NTFS drives. However read support is presumably stable. I certainly haven't had any trouble with read support. Gary
