XP and Linux

[Gilles Fourchet]

Linux does write on NTFS drives but it is not activated by default.  You 
have to recompile a kernel and specify that you want to write on NTFS.  
Be careful, it is clearly indicated that it is not recommended.  I do 
not know neither why nor whether it is really unstable (I have never 
tried this option).

However, if you really want to exchange some data between the 2 OSes and 
want to play safe, there is an easy solution: create a FAT drive.  I did 
it and it works flawlessly.
