Writing to NTFS is a problem from linux.  Reading works fine, so while
you would not be able to add files to windows from linux, you can copy
files from windows using linux.  Having a shared drive for data using
FAT32 is handy, but for the main drive for windows I would recommend
sticking with NTFS.
