OTOH read-only seems very stable. My "solution" when I must have a
box dual booting linux and something that prefers NTFS (win2k, NT 4,
XP) is to create two partitions for windows; the "root" I format with
NTFS and the other with FAT. This partition is a "data store" and
can be safely mounted rw in linux.

I am now successfully reading the ntfs filesystems from linux as
above. Each of those two drives with ntfs filesystems also have fat32
filesystems on them. After an initial success, I can't read them,
although I corrected (from all hdex to hde and hdf) the fstab
entries. I've tried hde2/hdf2 hde5/hdf5... This is how then now look:
/dev/hde2 /f vfat default 0 0
/dev/hdf2 /h vfat default 0 0
