I believe it is still very unsafe. It *can* be done but you have to mess wi=
th
scandisk everytime you reboot back to windows...it's very very dirty and qu=
ite
hackish. I wouldn't think about risking data on an NTFS partition through t=
he
limited NTFS driver in Linux 2.4 (even 2.5.)

And windows NT/2000/XP partitions are all the same NTFS anyway.

Regards
Josh
