convert works well. been a while since i've used it. requires a reboot 
since it won't convert a live filesystem (needs to mount it read only to 
convert, iirc).

No, but I've used it off and on for a few years without incident. Of 
course, read-write is REALLY experimental. I think I've used that before 
too but it would have been a long time ago. Ahhh, but you want write 
support. I probably wouldn't recommend it. I'd be surprised if the Linux 
kernel driver has kept up with the latest version of NTFS given how the 
feature has never moved out of experimental to begin with.

XP changes file system permissions says as W2K did.
