Only problem is, IIRC, writing to NTFS partitions from Linux is still 'at your own risk', whereas at least with FAT32 there's no probs with reading or writing.
Yip that's true (people seem to be skim reading my posts...). I must say though, IMHO, you need a damn good reason to be writing to the / or equivalent C:, or whatever, partition of another OS install. It might be necessary some times from one doze to doze, or linux to linux, but then there are no probs. IMHO you should have a partition for binaries and config files (and equivalents...) and that should ONLY be edited/wrote to by the OS that owns them. Can't really think of any reason you would want to do otherwise. Recovering from disasters is going to be almost always better done from a native utility (or at least one designed specifically for that OS), so I am still to hear a reason for writing to the root of a doze installation...
Data partitions are different, which is why I think it is a good idea to have FAT32 data partitions, as was originally suggested.
Cheers

ps, my point if not clear is "You SHOULD not write to the NTFS partition where your M$ Windows apps are installed from Linux, or any other non-M$ operating system"
