When I was still using Windows XP (eons ago) for games, my computer setup is always dual-boot with Linux. However, there are times that I need write-access to the NTFS partition from Linux and it could be such a pain to do it. Using FAT32 on Windows XP simply won't cut it for file system stability reasons.

Today, you can mount your NTFS partition with read-write permissions using a hack I found at ArsGeek.

Try it and tell us how it goes.
