I am shortly installing Mandriva Discovery on a separate hard drive and
run as a dual boot with XP (which of course runs NTFS). So, do I
understand this correctly that I will not be able to read/write to the
XP hard drive when running Mandriva? I’m surprised that there is not a
program that addresses this?

about how to do it with knoppix 5.1
That sounds like an app problem, not an NTFS problem. What are
you using? OpenOffice? Have you tried "Save As..." to save a
copy, or to switch the document into write mode?

mark, its not an app problem actually, linux doesnt write too well on
ntfs..most linux's will not allow you to write to ntfs..i know slax and
mandriva and some others dont allow you to write to ntfs.
there are commercial programs, a fat (or vfat or fat32, M$ type)
partition works best for shared data, imh (and lazy) o.
